NATIVE AMERICAN-UNTITLED

This is a "pencil" of a noble looking Native American which was unknown. The reference photo was taken by William Marion Pennington. Even the date of the reference photograph was not known. It was probably around 1900.

The original is 7" x 9.75" overall. It is drawn on medium weight, hot press Crescent Illustration Board. German made Faber-Castell Drawing Pencils were used. The majority of the "pencil" was done with a #6 lead, while the remainder was darkened with a #8 lead. Total time to complete was almost 10 hours.

STRIKING PORTRAIT. I LIKE THE WAY THE FACE IS DEEPLY LINED, BEEN EXPOSED TO A LIFE OF SUN AND WHATEVER THE WEATHER AND LIFE MAY TROW AT HIM. AND I LOVE HOW YOU TREATED THE SKIN ON HIS BODY, WHICH IS ALSO OLD AND HANGING LOOSE, WHILE STILL KEEPING A SENSE OF POWER. THIS IS A VERY RESPECTFUL PORTRAIT. THIS IS FROM YOU DENNY.

Nice work, feels a little stif in the neck and the hand holding blanket appears small but that could just be the angle. Over all very nice.
