Barbaro Art - It was Beautiful - Laura J. Smith
Loading...
Uploaded by ljswisc on Apr 15, 2007
I started this drawing as a challenge to myself to push my skills to better detail and texture. A learning experience for me. When I scanned the finished portrait and saw it on the screen I started to cry. He looked so alive! Here you can watch the WIP as it develops.
The song is from my very favorite singer Amy Grant and is what I listened to most while drawing each portrait of him. It conveys how I feel about our Champion. The other two portraits show when I am dedicating those specific words to either Dr Richardson or The Jacksons. I miss you Bobby!
EDIT: 1/28/08: I raise $3619.00 selling prints, greeting cards, and Christmas ornaments from this image. I donated it to the Fund to Fight Laminitis at New Bolton Center. I went there myself and met Dr Richardson. Check out my blog to read about my trip and see photos!!

wow, thats really good!
did you just use a regular pencil or diffrent leads in mechanical?
doggarrs 4 years ago
I have the mechanical clutch pencils... I like the weight of them. The leads I have are 2H, HB, 2B & 4B. I find I use 2B for almost the entire drawing. I may use the others but very little. I like to go over the whole thing in circles with the 2H when it is finished... and that is because it is a harder lead and will drive the softer graphite into the pores of the paper... gives it a nice finished look.
