Newman


This is not my best work. Let me explain.

When Paul Newman died a few months ago, I decided to draw him. So after a Newman movie fest, I searched the internet and found a photo I thought captured him. Nobody before or after Paul Newman has ever combined vulnerability and complete badass-ness the way he did, so I wanted a picture that really showed that.

What I didn't think about was how hard it is to draw rippling muscles. Seriously. It's time consuming. Next time I'm sticking to faces. If I had more time and patience, I could make this drawing better. Maybe someday I will. But for right now, this blog hasn't had an update in 3 weeks and I'm itching to start something new. So whatever, here this is. I really wish I could have done Paul Newman justice. Oh well.
