Not many drawings survived my college years – I either lost them, ruined them somehow, gesso’d over them to re-use the support, or gave them away. This is one I’ve always liked a lot and held onto these many years. If I recall correctly, the subject was my roommate’s grandfather.

This is a bit of  a jump-ahead from the last update, but only because she was looking a bit too  similar to bat boy for my tastes after the previous undocumented session. I think I’ve turned it around now. ;)
