| Hello,
this page will host my current 'work in progress'. I will post images
of the drawing as it progresses along with the date and size and
perhaps a few comments. This will be a sort of 'blog' I suppose, if you
would like to comment please feel free to do so by signing the
guestbook. If there is a lot of interest, I may put the
comments on this page, or both.
I started the
drawing on January 7th, and will not state what is in the drawing for
added interest. It may take quite a while so please check back every
once in a while. |
| First
stage....late January 7, 2008. This is pencil on Beinfang smooth
bristol paper. Image size is 5.2"x2.8". |
| Second
Stage....January 9th. Drawing size is now 6.9"x2.9". In the
next stage I will basically have this area finished except for the
values and perhaps a little detail. |
| Third stage....January 10th. Drawing size is now 8.5"x6.1". Up
to now has been the quick part of the drawing. Now comes the fun...also
the most tedious and time consuming part of the drawing. |
| Fourth
stage....January 13th. Drawing size is still 8.5"x6.1". I think I have about
31-34 hours on this now. I still need to go over it later and "Fine
Tune" it, adjusting values and whatever. |
| Fifth stage....January 14th. Drawing size is 8.5"x10". |
| Sixth stage....January 16th. Another collectable added to the drawing. |
| Seventh
stage....January 17th. An enlargement and progress of the 1929 Walking
Liberty Half Dollar. The actual size of the half dollar in the drawing
is 2.95" in diameter. |
| Eight stage....January 19th. Slowly progressing. |
| Ninth
stage....January 21st. The half dollar is finished for now. One more
coin to put in and a final 'tweeking', and this drawing will be
finished. |
| Tenth stage....January 30th. I have about all of the 'tweeking' done and the reverse of the Standing Liberty Quarter is started. |
Final
Stage....February 18th. After a few unexpected delays lasting a few
weeks...I have finished this and am quite pleased. The scan of
course can not pick up the delicate blending on the top card but
that is to be expected.
The following enlargements are larger than the actual drawing. |
I hope you have enjoyed following this WIP.
