Like so often in your work, I find myself mesmerized by the first sketch.
ReplyDeleteThis is Awesome.. its really nice to see your prgression sketches :D
ReplyDeleteHe must've been in a manic phase when you painted him :) This one cracks me up. Maybe it's that big smile. Cool take on Picasso too.
ReplyDeleteWow! You've been batting 1,000 lately. The expression is beautiful - both yours and Frankie's. Your illo emmotes a good feeling. I love all the lines, especially that flop of wiled hair. I can't stop looking … I must be mesmerized!
ReplyDeleteYour style is very unique and wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's quite the GAZE! I am totally mesmerized! Good pic for the topic and, as usual, so deftly drawn!!
ReplyDeleteHis blue eyes were mesmerizing indeed.
ReplyDeleteGreat drawing, I would love to see one of Sammy Davis Jr. in your style :)
Fun spin on Frank & the prompt. I read a bio years ago that talked about his, um, impulsive side. Can totally imagine this expression in his mirror
ReplyDeleteI like Ana's idea.
ReplyDeleteThe last time I drew Sammy was back in 2005 as part of a Rat Pack quadrocoil... so, yes, he's due.
ReplyDeleteI'll put him on the short list.
~get the IF people to make the next word Bojangles and we're good to go!
.
Just the right amount of distortion and Frank's Zygomatic arch has echoes of a fast car. Well done!
ReplyDeleteVery clean, slick and mesmerizing. Your line work is beautiful. Great suggestion of the period with the hair and the gabardine (sp?) jacket. There is a lot of tension behind that forced smile, but there is a genuineness of character behind it as well...and I can't stop looking into those intense blue eyes.
ReplyDeleteWell I couldn't agree more. Ask my mom about Frank, and she'll tell you dozens of other things about him that you're not even asking! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your take on him, Richard.
Looking a little manic there - and hard to look away from.
