My first endeavor is this week's celebrity: Danny Trejo!!! What a great face this guy has...
IT will also give me a chance to try out the new "RIG" in my studio!!!

Now I can work as big and free as I desire! (The thumbnail sketch is bigger than 9x12"!!!)
Here are a first couple of sketches:


the sketch on the left is good old Crayola Crayons on butcher paper. However, the wax won't allow buildup of layers of color, so I switched to Prismacolor ArtStix for the sketch on the right.
