Pencil Drawings of People: Clint Eastwood

Creating pencil drawings of people like Clint Eastwood is a hobby of mine. I got the idea to sketch him from a movie ad for one of his vintage westerns.

I keep my sketching tools simple. I use a #2 pencil on an 8-1/2 inch by 11 inch sheet of 60 lb. paper.

In order to keep the original pencil drawing from smearing, I always print copies of the original on vellum paper. The original gets put into a clear sheet protector. This I put into a three ring binder with all my other originals for my collection. Printed copies are the ones that get framed.
