Well today I finished an ink drawing that I started just yesterday. It is of Jan Szymon Golowacz, or better known as JSG on IG (@jsgpipes). He is an indie pipe maker from Poland and I purchased his Stubby Poker with a Waist through TobaccoPipeCollectors.com. Although his isn't the very 1st indie pipe I purchased, it is the very first indie pipe that I smoked. It's a great little poker and hopefully not the last pipe I buy from him. I do have my eye on one of his Old Style Cutty pipes, but I need to save up more pennies!
I drew his portrait in pencil on a 9" x 12" sheet of Strathmore Sketch drawing paper using Staedtler pens. Pointillism & cross-hatching is what I used to create the shadows and background. This is the 4th portrait I created from tobacco piper smokers/makers on IG. I hope to continue drawing portraits of the many pipers, but choosing the right one, at the right time is the number 1 question. I just don't know which piper it will be. Be on the lookout!
