Here’s the scenario – your family has been kidnapped; held for ransom by an international gang of thugs. The government? They’re of no help. Aid agencies? No go. The only one that can save them is you.

And what does the eye patch wearing, cigar smoking, exotic accent having leader of these criminals want in exchange for your loved ones? Money? Gold? Insider secrets? No… a drawing. A drawing of Kevin Lawver’s left eye.

Watch the following video closely. Your future – perhaps even that of the world’s – could depend on it one day.

And here’s a photo in better lighting of where it ended up:

I apologize for the low production quality of the video. But, hopefully you’ll find it of some small use.

Accumulative progress from a brief session with it this morning before work and one during lunch today.

I’m considering a series of people making funny faces…

Even at this very early stage, I feel like this is going to be one of my favorite drawings. Not only is it a hilarious reference with fantastic lighting, detail and texture that I knew I wanted to draw the first time I saw it, but it’s also a good, long time friend which always makes it much more interesting for me. See Ganz, the Sequel as more proof of that.

This is also the subject for this month’s portrait study, so it makes it even more fun just to see how the other folks in the group will treat it.

I kid…I kid…(or do I?)

I had intended to have a surprise for you all today… I filmed myself working on this drawing yesterday, talking about techniques, tricks, color theory, skin tone, anatomy of the face and all manner of things. To make a long story short, I now know that I have 457 bad blocks on my hard drive and damn if that video didn’t land squarely in the middle of them. More than 50% of the video is scrambled video or screeching audio.

“But Steve”, you say, “Why not just pull it from the camera again?”. Ha! I deleted it from the camera after import! And the best part is I never do that unless and until I know the imported files are safe and sound. Lesson learned.

I’ve no idea yet if any of its salvageable, but I’m doubting it. I’ll try another at some point once I’ve dealt with this troublesome Macbook.

I’ve not had much time to work on this other than the hour I managed to get in while everyone else was napping this afternoon:
