of them to keep a record of my work.
This one began as drawing #2269 "Tom as Clown
Napoleon", a quick drawing showing me in a pierrot type
costume with a napoleon type hat - a mix of fun and
homage to Picasso's pierrot paintings.
You can see it (though computers don't do drawings justice)
in the Feb issue of Musea. Start here,
.Musea - Newdex our contents page,
then click on Feb issue. Then go almost all the
way to the bottom, on the right.
I made a copy of the drawing, then colored it with colored
pencils. The hat, and the buttons a rich navy blue, the
background a number of bright shades of yellow, and the
costume white with just a hint of pastel green.
I colored the face flesh color with a more redish cast
on the ears, nose, and shadows on the skin.
Take a look at the drawing, imagine the colors and see what you
think.
