Lincoln Sketch

Lincoln Sketch

A quick drawing of a younger Lincoln, along with an 1860's city street scene. Ink and Prismacolor pencil on tinted Canson paper. Casey had to do an essay on a person he'd like to meet. He picked Abraham Lincoln, and in the course of doing a bit of research on him, it rekindled my long term admiration for the lanky fellow. So Casey wrote his essay and I drew a picture.

A bit from Casey's essay: "One of his incredible accomplishments was that he freed the slaves, and that is the main reason I admire him. He was a good man who stuck to his beliefs and stood up for others who couldn't do it for themselves. He was shy like me, but he overcame it. The war and losing 2 sons made him upset enough that he wanted to kill himself, but he didn't. He was a brave person."

Unfinished sketch of Riley, Prismacolor pencils on tinted Canson paper. At this point I'm just sketching for ideas and trying out one of my comfortable old drawing styles. It's been quite a while since I just drew without a clear purpose and I need to find myself again. I'm hoping it'll be easier to see where I want to go if I try out some of the old comfortable shoes first.
