Description

Crosby cut his first solo session in late 1963; the Byrds' trademark 12-string guitar sound-Crosby was the architect of their shimmering harmonies; his interests in jazz and Indian music also influenced their subsequent excursions into psychedelic. In late 1969, Crosby Stiles, Nash and Young formed. David Crosby was plagued by a series of weapons arrests and drug charges. On the road to recovery,i t was announced he was diagnosed with Hepatitis C and dying of liver failure, undergoing a successful organ transplant in 1995. Remember: Long Time Gone...Wooden Ships...Hero This sketch was done with 5H pencil, .3 H, .5 2B, and .7 B mechanical pencils. There was some minimal postwork done in PSP7 with the addition of the Rose.

This is a homey depiction of a man who is now fathering a lesbian dynasty from the freezer. The few more props than usual has really tested your rendering and brought a little more personality from the setting.

My apologies for getting to this excellent drawing late Cheryl. I recognized David immediately - even from the tiny thumbnail which often slaughters the true image it represents. You have certainly captured the man with absolute clarity. Of all your excellent portraits, I believe this one is bang-on in portraying the subject with absolute perfection. I'm also smiling with delight at the extra work you labored on to add to the surroundings. The brick wall fireplace actually looks like masonry. I also like the little frame with the names of the musicians done vertically. Excellent work young lady - A++++.
