Bernie’s Right Eye

with a Lamy Safari medium ballpoint pen loaded with a Monteverde brown ink cartridge.

So this fella I do know. He does not know me however. That’s because he is Bernie Sanders, the Presidential wannabe, and I am a lowly and humble, but noble, American artist. I’m certain Bernie would not be flattered with my rendition of his right eye and might actually question my sanity for sketching it were we actual acquaintances. And likewise, I would question his sanity for a few off-the-wall things he has endeavored to do. That’s what friends do, right?
But I digress. France Van Stone (@wagonized), art teacher extraordinaire, provided the photo reference for a sketching exercise in her ”Showing Up At The Page” course. If you follow me, you already know I’m in the midst of working through the course, and happily so. My attempt at sketching the right eye of the Honorable Senator Sanders, from the great state of Vermont, is once again a bit on the heavy handed end of the sketching spectrum. But, I sense some further improvement over the Rick’s Left Eye exercise so I’m satisfied with it.
Onward and upward to the next exercise!
Hi Don, I’m sure even though Bernie does not know you personally he does care deeply for your well-being. Nice drawing, thanks.
Thanks for the comment Jerry and I’m sure you are correct about Bernie. He seems like a nice gentleman. 🙂 And I care about his well-being too. Hopefully, most people care about each other’s well-being even though they might disagree at times.🙂 I do wish folk would disagree more honorably though. It would sure make life a bit more pleasant wouldn’t it?
Glad you liked the drawing too.👍
All the best to you👍
This eye is amazing !!!! I have gone in and looked at her work and I am blown away !!!!
