Can you provide any verbal details about the beard process?
Was it fine pen & ink drawing of the negative spaces between each of the beard
hairs?
What inspired this composition?
Peace & Light,

John,
Oh good, wrinkles! :o )
Such character on this, it looks like so much fun to work on.
Will look forward to updates and insight on how this technique is working for you.
Shelly
John, this looks like a wonderful start. I'm already liking the eyes on
this.
Larry
John, can't wait to see the updates. Interesting technique.
Debbie
John,
It's interesting to see those lines coming to life. Once you see that
face developed you wouldn't say it started with 'just' those lines.
One question: how do you keep your paper flat?
If I would try such a thing (I mean the washing or any other method that
makes the paper wet), the paper would curl. And as far as I can see,
your paper doesn't. So, what's your secret?
Tonia
John,
I am glad you are ok and that you made it thru the storm ok.
Your WIP is amazing just as the rest of your artwork.
This drawing has so much character, Its amazing how the
drawing transforms from the first step to the last.

Oh John, I tried again tonight & it worked.

You did a great job!!! Love
seeing your wips.
Toby
John, this is fabulous work. I love the details and how you show all
of your WIPs. The colors just enhances the drawing even more.
I look forward to seeing your next project.
Larry
ooo loved seeing all the steps- it looks great! - thanks for sharing
Amy
Great job, John. It looks like the background is glowing & light is coming
from the face.
Toby
Very interesting, John...
Jennifer, and thanks for the progression. ..
John,
Your work is exceptional. I really like the style of art that you do.

Artists WhoSurvive
John, Maunck is going to be a treasure. Are the pencils colored?
I can't wait to see more. I may order some of those pencils for my daughter.
The water solublecolors look wonderful.
What is the difference in their 120 pencils and their 40 or 80.
Is that the number of pencils one gets or a way of classifying different types?
I downloaded their brochure, but am still confused. I am going to artist supply warehouse
and see if they carry them. Cathy

Hi john, Hopefully we'll have our internet working by the
start of next week. I am looking forward to studying your
work. I started a pen and ink with colored pencils last
week. I can't wait to try it with the watercolor as well.
Keep sending me ideas to try I am really interested. Thank
you, Brenda -- Brenda Slaughter
