Mmm. I did a realistic piece.

Yeah, so this is a picture of John Dobson, the "father of sidewalk astronomy," referenced by his picture in the 2005 "35 who made a difference" Smithsonian special issue.

He's a pretty interesting guy. He had a nice face, and I felt like drawing the elderly, so I just picked up a pencil and started sketching. This is what I came up with in 30 minutes or so.

Not exactly like him, but it looks very similar to the actual picture, I think. Unfortunately, the scan sort of ate away a lot of the shadows.

I'm not very good with this, as you can tell, but I hope to improve.
