I drew these 35 years ago of Elvis and John with Bic ball
point pens, it took about 12 hours each, very tedious work.
I thought they had been lost, turns out my son saved them.
I thought I would share them with my friends on UHH.
I shot them laying on them floor with less than optimal
lighting.

Those are superb drawings, well worth framing! I decided to remove all the color, hope you don't mind, but I thought it brought out the original image and intent better.

Thanks Clh, I do have a few more to share but as far as
stopping, my hands don't work that well anymore, 73 years
will do that to you.

Well done Ernest, I used to do some pen and ink drawings of scenery and animals, it does take patience!

You ought to think taking a couple of careful copy photos, print them on matte paper, mount, frame and hang. They will amuse you every time you see them!

Yes it does Karin, pen in one hand and paper towel in the
other, stroke and clean tip, stroke and clean. Back then the
ink would blob and I would ruin a drawing. I also drew cars,
not much of anything else, I loved to do portraits.
