This is my favorite piece to date. Completed and dated on December 21, 2016 The Claus weighs in at 24″ tall by 18″ wide. I used a range of graphite scaling from B-8B, spanning a total of 48 hours actual drawing time.
A non traditional approach to depicting Santa Claus, I imagined him waning through the snow at night. Lantern in hand and lonesome, Claus is left with an expression of heightened senses upon his face.
Merry Christmas to all.
