Description Edit (1st September) I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has favourited this drawing or added it to their collections. It's really appreciated but I can't thank you all personally. All comments will however be answered.

This is my drawing of a pretty famous photograph which was taken in 1909. It is of a Southern Cheyenne called Wolf Robe. I had drawn my first version of this is 2004 and decided it was time to have another go. I did this portrait in the evenings, when the light was not right for doing my big tattoo project, so it took longer to finish. I reckon it must have taken in excess of 30 hours. Done in graphite (2H through to 6B) on Winsor & Newton bristol board, A3 size. Frame added after scanning. The technique used on the skin was circulism. My very first attempt at circulism and I really like it for realistic male skin.
