    My 1st portrait....

    I had a lot of fun with this one. Took about 6 hours. Vivace 3.5 (9 bugpin mag), Infinite irons (5 reg round). Talen's broke down with a 50/50 witch hazel and Distilled water mix for the washes. Used 5 caps of: Solid black, 7 drop, 4 drop, 2 drop, and pure mixing solution (in #16 caps).

    It's really nice indeed. Nice detail and looks just like old Frankie. My only gripe is the cutoff arc across the bottom, makes it hard to flow into with future work and lessens options considerably, it would be real hard to add the rest of his body later on, for example....

    Really super nice! Soft shading, with good use of all values.
