WEEK #8 (Weekly Drawings 2019)

Well - what better way to spend a Valentines day than with Elvis hey?  Am I right?

Had a wonderful time listening to the king.  I really enjoyed the show and his voice was such a pleasure.  

 
 




















I tried to get some good pics to draw from, but no worries - because after the show he graciously agreed to give me a wonderful cheesy smile - pure Elvis-ness. 

I can't say I had a ton of fun doing the actual drawing though.  All those sparklies!  I just couldn't dig my way through the entire outfit.  The collar was difficult enough to do.

FROM A COUPLE OF ARTICLES.....
"Singing for Jeff started from an early age. Jeff had great fortune to have a mother who was very gifted musically and encouraged him to follow his voice. At the ripe old age of five he was stage at his first talent show, by six he was on television with his grade one class and sang solo. Jeff has now been singing for thirty six years and has always had a love of old fifties Rock'n'Roll. Elvis' music was often played while Jeff was growing up and he grew to appreciate it."

Actually, as much as I hate getting a speeding ticket (really only got one in my life), but hey - if I got one from Elvis, I wouldn't really mind so much.  He must have been a lot of fun at work!

This is part of my "one drawing per week" project 

An update

My sister said she could tell that I really liked the singer by the way I drew him.  Yup.  He was very good and I really enjoyed hearing him, and drawing him.  Drawing him - not his outfit. 
So far this year, I've been able to draw people from around town. 


This week, I'm in the middle of doing another drawing of my husband.  I've drawn him in that same setting before, so it shouldn't make me too crazy.  

But next week - NEXT week folks... I've got a big surprise for you all!  I'm all shook up even!!  I am getting my photo snapping finger ready, because Elvis (yup you heard right - I said Elvis) is coming.  What you say?  Did you move to Vegas you say?  Nope.  (Geeze - suspicious minds hey?) 

He's comin here to our town, right to our little old Co op Mall!  He's apparently doing the Nursing Home and Hospital circuit for Valentines day.  I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed and hope the I can get him to do a couple of poses for me so I can do a drawing.  Wish me luck!  Thank you.  Thank you very much.
