Portrayals

PlayboyJazz_PortraitLeonidasTSDobler_sk
Here is an ink drawing/portrait of Mr. Hugh Hefner I did for this year's Playboy Jazz Festival. Throughout the assignment I was inspired to keep practicing with daily warmup portrait sketches of whoever else came to mind, and push various limitations like duotones or lighting as I went (while trying to maintain some fleeting likenesses.) It's an unexpected bunch, all together, but I guess there was a lot of Kojack on in the background...

Is that last one John Cusack? That's an atmospheric image, very impressive especially for a 'warm up' !
