An anthropologist friend requested that I burn her a Ring Tailed Lemur (Lemur catta) portrait - "make him wise and a little supicious of human kind". They've been around for 25-26 million years.
This one kindly posed for me at the SF Zoo, and came through a series of life drawings into the portrait below. I realize that photography has subsumed most imaging since Daguerre and Talbot got the photo ball rolling in the 1830s, but I prefer field/life drawing to contemplate and render the souls of the species.
I usually burn outdoors (or indoors with plenty of fan ventilation) and use a Razer Tip brand dual pen system (Razertip SS-D10) - nice variety of tips, and I make some of my own. The surface is 1000 grit-sanded basswood. I airbrush with Jacquard Dye-na-flow acrylics, then seal with a few coats of Krylon UV resistant clear spray. 8x10".
Happy Thursday to all - Bob
