Here's a quickie I did last night while watching the features on No Country
For Old Men. The eyes are wonky, wouldn't mind doing this over sometime
for real when I have more time.

Andy,
This -as well as the Grace portrait on the last page- was done using
water soluble oil pastels. You might be able to find them
at:www.portfolioseries.com
I was browsing the art store a while back and thought that sounded
pretty curious and worth experimenting with. They are fun to use even
though I haven't bother adding any water to them. Maybe tonight I will!
They're like using a thick creamy crayon to sketch with. I put in the
various colors I see in the face then smudge and smear them with my
fingers. It's a very tactile experience.
