A few years ago I sketched this man a couple times from different photos I found on the Sktchy App, now called Museum by Sktchy.
After I posted them (both done within a few days of each other and posted at the same time) a local friend wrote to me and told me that I had just sketched one of his best friends.
Out of all the bearded men on Sktchy it seemed very serendipitous that I’d sketched a friend of a friend (whom, by the way I had not met with that friend).
One does have to also agree that this man’s beard is crying out to be sketched.
Here’s a post showing how the other sketch actually started my 2017 International Fake Journal Project.
That is an amazing beard! And I love how delicately you captured its form with colored pencil.
Thanks Tina, when it popped up in the database it made me miss color pencils a little. They are awfully fun (which you know because you use them everyday!).
