Well, this time I actually know who this is! I would present the photo I used to draw this, but I just got a new printer (thank you, sweetie), and I haven't yet used it. Sweetie did the scan for me after he got the new printer all set up. It's a wireless printer/scanner, which means we can now print things from our iPads (not that I probably will, but he already has!). I'll have to spend some time getting used to the new one and practicing a bit. These things don't come easily to me, as a rule.
Enough of that and on to the drawing. As you can see, I totally messed up his nose. I find noses especially hard to draw, especially the nostril area. That's where pencil is a wonderful tool for me as opposed to ink - I can fiddle and fiddle until I get it right. Maybe after hundreds of ink faces, I'll get the hang of noses. Maybe I should just do pages and pages of inky noses ... what do you think?
Thanks for dropping by!

Oh, no! Not just inky noses!
I love your faces and would prefer you stay with those, please,

And I need to do pages and pages of inky hands. Groan. I don't really recall Brando in his youth, but it's another fine effort. You are on a role!
This is really good Nancy :) keep it up!
He looks like Andrew to me???
