Laughter is one of those things that everyone understands, no matter the language. Even the deaf laugh the same as the hearing. No particular point here. Just sayin’…
This was inspired by a photo posted on thing-a-day. It also fits nicely with Everyday Matters challenge #53 (Draw a mouth).
The drawing was done entirely with a mechanical pencil (along with a blending stump) in my sketchbook. I can’t seem to get those deep, deep darks with some of my softer drawing pencils (baffling); so even though it takes a little longer, the mechanical is quickly growing on me. It took me about an hour for those keeping score.
Until tomorrow… laugh.
This is WONDERFUL!
Lovin’ the laughter!
Great fun! You’ve captured all the important laughing bits!!!!
Great work Jeff.
Hey, great work! I love the sketch and feel honored that my pic inspired it! Thanks, Carolina
Nice work!
Have you tried a #314 Draughting pencil? Those are wonderful to use. They let you get a wide range of tones from very light to the deepest darks. And they are very smooth! Berol, then Sanford made them. I think that General is making them now. The only place that I have found them, lately, is at Texas Art Supply in Houston, Texas. I’m sure that someone else has them, though. When Berol and Sanford made them, they were in all the stores and catalogues.
I have 2 left and I’m really hoarding them!
Terrific drawing! Made me smile
Very well done.
