Harry Dean Stanton

Harry Dean Stanton (from a 1980 publicity photo for The Black Marble).

Drawn on 5/6/26.

I'm continuing to experiment with my digital drawing technique. On this one, I only used black or white from the color palette, relying on the brush opacity to get different shades of gray. I had to use the liquify tool after realizing I'd made his nose too large. Most of it is on only two layers—I usually do a lot more. I'm really happy with the loose, spontaneous feel I was able to get.
