This is a "pencil" original
done of a middle-aged
Indian, "Split Sky."
The reference photo that I
used to draw from was
taken by F.W. Glaser, a
little-known photographer
from Brockton,
Massachusetts in 1909.
The original is 8"x10.5"
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 #4 lead, while
the remainder was
darkened with a #6 and #8
leads. Total time to
complete was 14 hours.
