Who's drawing boobs tonight?

This girl!

My rendition of Dolly Parton is way the F more challenging than I originally thought it would be. I got the first quarter section of Dolly's hair knocked out in a few hours. Therefor it was reasonable to guesstimate, knowing how I work, that I could get Dolly finished within 30 hours. But no. I got stuck a few times. Severely stuck another few more times. Almost quit. Then did quit. Wept. Got drunk. Wept again. Came back the next day. Barrelled through. And here we are 7 days after I first started.

Dolly is not my best work but she's the most loved. She's a hard earned C. Plus. C+. I'll draw another Dolly for sure.

Do you have Instagram? If you want to see what she looks like now I just post an update on my IG Story and Highlight. Click the link below.

Dolly, wip 12.8

I'll shoot a better photo of Dolly when she's done, but as always nothing compares to seeing artwork in person.

I'm conflicted as to what I should do with her. I can sell this drawing easily to a Dolly Parton fan. Someone who will love her as much as I do. Or I could exhibit Dolly somewhere but in truth the only way I would want to exhibit Dolly is if I did it Banksy style as a clever three hour pop-up display complete with Dolly drag queens. But let's be honest, I'm nowhere near as clever as Banksy.

Tonight I draw Dolly's fabulous bust. We'll see if boobs are as fun to draw as my fellow male artists say they are.

Ok. Back to work.

Mom wonders why I don't drive back in that big fine car I own
The truth is I don't have a car and I'm ashamed to go back home
A pair of false eye lashes and a tube of cheap lipstick
A pair of worn out high heel shoes and a dress doesn't fit
These are all my possessions all I have to my name
And a record played in my home town is my only claim to fame
