Hi Everyone...
I popped over to Monday Artday and saw that this week's theme is "Elvis" ....
Elvis was my Father-in-Laws favorite singer.....so I want to dedicate this to my late Father-in-Law....
Thanks for popping by everyone and thanks for leaving me all the sweet messages....

He looks great! You've captured my favourite early ElvisI saw the topic and was too scared to try, he's so iconic. I looked up smores too by the way and I think I'm moving over there! hehe

this is wonderful....I have always been an Elvis fan and you have done a terrific likeness....your father-in-law had good taste. Sorry I haven't been posting...life has been way too busy to get any new artwork done...it makes me sad...but maybe today I'll carve out some time to get to the background I collaged over the weekend. Thanks for checkin' on me :)

What is your process? Do you sketch first?

This is a great portrait of Elvis, Diana. And, what a loving tribute it is for your Father in Law.

my process for real people is always starting with a sketch in pencil....but when I am doing some fun and free stuff I love living on the edge and doing it in ink from the beginning....makes it fun to see what comes out....

Hi Diana!
I'm amazed of the endless creativity here! I haven't been here a few days and all the things you have made! And all so different!
How cool this theme so you could draw this especially for your father in law!
Hope you are feeling a little bit better already...............
