I can't say the drawing is completed, but this picture is the type of pic that you can work and work and work on endlessly. But alas, time goes on - its nearing a busy time of year, plus we are moving to a new place in town, which means everything is turned upside down..... so I decided its "finished enough" for my week #48. I fully intend to draw it again, because its one of my all time favorites. Perhaps I'll do it in color in the new year.
Anyhow.... here's Kelly - wearing a home-made hat. He loves to dress up and he loves colors. I wanted to initially do this drawing in black and white though, because I wanted to see if I could get the sparkle in there.
Kelly reminded me of Bacchus in this pose - Bacchus is the god of wine, and two of my favorite artists (Velazquez and Caravaggio) did paintings of Bacchus, so it must be a good subject.
