    Elvis drawing number 17 W.I.P

    I have been asked to do another work in progress drawing of Elvis, which I am always happy to do, so I searched for a decent photo to draw and came across possibly the best photo of Elvis I have seen for a long time and had to draw it.
    Again this is A4 size on Bristolboard paper, using three pencils HB, 2H clutch pencils and 5H wood pencil. I always start with his right eye andwhen I finish the section off I gently go over it with the 5H to blend and join it all together. this first section has taken 3hours to do

    Wonderful Gordon, I'll be waiting for the finished drawing. I took Charcoal drawing in college, but stopped working with it. I can appreciate your work

    I dream a world where man no other man
    will scorn. Where LOVE will bless the earth
    and peace its paths adorn...
