SUBMISSION: If You Could Read My Mind by Judy Schrader
If You Could Read My Mind. Charcoal on Stonehenge Paper by Judy Schrader. All Rights Reserved. Charcoal drawing on Stonehenge paper. Drawing is of an old gorilla watching me as I was looking at him. I wanted to catch his magnificent and proud character in my drawing. I hope I did him justice.
I love gorillas and had a great opportunity to get wonderful photos of them at the Pittsburgh Zoo several years ago. The look in their eyes is like looking back at you. Do you ever wonder what they are thinking when they look at you with their gentle soft eyes? I think I captured his soul in this drawing. Doing the old man in charcoal was fun to do as I love doing fur/hair in this medium.
