Description **VIEW FULL FOR RICH CREAMERY DETAIL!!!**

I figured since this Sunday is Father's Day (at least in the US, I don't know what you other heathens are doing for your dads) I'd make my Pop another scratchboard of his hero. The original is 5 x 7 and only took about an hour from start to completion. Of course it helps if you leave a big chunk of it black! I did a bit more hatching on this piece than I usually do. I should probably take advantage of this technique more often when doing these scratchboards. After all, that's sorta the whole point of it. Hope ya'll dig and happy Father's day to all the dads out there!

Badass! I work at Old Tucson, one of the movie studios he filmed at and owned half of, so I see a lot of the Ol' Duke, and I gotta say this captures him.

This is quite stunning Ben-did he like it? Bet he did. My fave part is the tiny details of the lines-nice work with making some of them straight & then swapping over to curvy.

He's getting it today, but I could give him a dead rat as long as it had a picture of John Wayne on it. Iadded a bit more detail/grays/hatching on this one that normal and I thought it worked alright. Thanks Erin!

I'm thinking about doing a sketchier, looser one from the opening scene of the Godfather when the undertaker whispers in his ear that he wants the guy who beat his daughter killed. Appreciate the fave!
