Pencil Drawing For Bateman Blair #287Z
- Clinker Stylus Sketch
The pencil drawing of Bateman Blair is a profile drawing. It was done this afternoon at the “Cup of Joe” coffee sponsored by the Lake County Veterans Foundation, in Grayslake, Illinois.
While enjoying the company of my fellow Veterans at the Area General Store in Mundelein, I pulled out my pencils and paper and began to draw Bateman.
As you can see from the drawing below, I first started the drawing by making light circles in the region of Bate’s head. Then as I “zeroed” in on the details of his face I became for precise in my line work. Bate was of course talking while I drew so the image is somewhat based on different positions of his face. However, his movements were not severe so what you see is pretty much what he looks like. Bate is a fine looking gentleman with stately facial features, and a man of honor.
As I continued with the detailing of his cranium contour lines, I then started to focus on his eye brows and nose. From here I worked my way down to his lips and chin. When I had these areas adequately detailed, I moved on to his hear. Prior to this I had outlined his entire head and now I was filling in his hair line and neck.
I work the fullness of his body through his shirt, you can even see the tip of his pen in his shirt pocket. In all the drawing took about 10 minutes to draw.
