Description

My kids and I have always loved His movies, and it is for certain that he has done some fine acting in the movies from the past ten years, but I must confess...I have always been drawn to musicals. This sketch, referenced from a stock photo, was accomplished with 5H, H, HB pencils...and with .3 and .7 Mechanical Pencils. The matting (my design), along with the Background, , Soft Focus, Car (Tube by Jazzi), Eyes and Postwork were done through PSP8. Thanks for stopping by and commenting looking...Cheryl

Really presses hard on the playing card genres of one-eyed and two-eyed jacks. Probably the most characteristic feature is the lips. I can hear him pronouncing it!

Lovely work Cheryl... I think John has grown in stature since those days of Grease and has become a very fine actor indeed...

It's Zuko! I have always despised musicals... but I have always loved Grease! I was in fifth grade when it hit the theatres and we went to see it 3 times. As a poor family that was a pretty damn big deal. Great drawing Cheryl... you pick the most suprising subjects and I am always looking forward to who is next!
