Art - Snake Oil - Mag7 Bingo

[valiha]

This is my second entry for the magnificent Seven Bingo, this time the card in question was "Snake Oil". I found an image on Google that I liked, and since it was fairly complicated, I used the square method of putting it down on paper. I find it most useful when I'm dealing with complex subjects , since I can concentrate on smaller pieces at a time.

Still, I found that I couldn't get his face quite right, so I enlarged and printed the original image, and transferred the facial features by taping the original and my drawing to a window.

I used a ruler for the stick, and scales for the circle. I placed a piece of cardboard down to prevent piercing the paper.

This is a beautiful piece! I'm in awe of the depth of shading you have here. As one who can only draw disproportionate stick-figures, I have to say I ove all of the artwork you've shared with us so far.
