Final drawing: “Hammerin’ Hank.” 15” x 10”. Pencil on paper.
***Hand-signed by Hank Aaron and me.***
I really enjoyed creating this piece because the image had so many great elements (good contrast, textures, shades, etc). The biggest challenge was drawing on this particular type of paper, which had a heavy grain texture and made it difficult to capture fine detail. Ultimately I had to come up with different techniques to capture these details, which was a fun learning experience!
