Sock it to Me!

At last, something I've been working on for months! Or, practically, a year!

The following is a portrait of one of my favorite actresses, the pretty, wild, and funny Goldie Hawn, as she famously appeared in the TV comedy series, Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In (NBC; 1968)! I'm extremely proud of this one.

This was first drawn with a blue sketching pencil on 11" x 14" Bristol paper, and then inked with Micron pens (a brush pen, a .05, and a .005). It was started in Spring of 2010, and was finally inked on late Friday night/Saturday Morning, September 3rd, 2010, while I was at Dragon*Con! I showed it to artists like Ted Naifeh, Josh "Shag" Agle, and Derek Yaniger while I was there, and I got praise for it. Now, I finally scanned it in Photoshop, and colored it using my Bamboo Fun tablet this morning on March 23rd, 2011.

COLOR TYPE A:

COLOR TYPE B:

The "Sock it to Me!" text was added in the Photoshop coloring process (first crudely drawn in black, then traced over in white).
