Yep, another Tuesday portrait night has come and gone. Last night’s subject: Babe Ruth. I think the inking here is probably the best part of the drawing; the likeness itself isn’t very good. (I think the overall face shape is the main culprit–too gaunt/angular.) Someone on Twitter thought the red/blue color scheme was an Obama riff. It’s actually just the result of my using Yankees blue and red for the color palate. I’d love to tell you this is a mediocre drawing because I “hate the Yankees” as folks say, but it’s actually just because I’m not great at likenesses… but that’s the point of trying to do a likeness once a week, right?

Those are definitely Babe Ruth’s eyes. I think if the face were a little rounder / square shaped, you’d be on the money.
