Randy Study for Tres Amigos
A standing Randy is drawn from a low vantage, filling the page with a strong, upright silhouette. A wide-brim hat shades the face, while a field jacket, gloves, and relaxed stance convey pragmatic calm. One boot plants on a rock and the other trails behind, giving the pose forward energy; the right hand hangs at the side gripping a compound bow whose pulleys and limbs read clearly.
Graphite modeling moves from rich, velvety darks in the hat, jacket, and pants to mid-tone planes on the shirt and gloves. Cross-hatching wraps form, and broad, slanted strokes shape the rock base. The figure rises out of ample negative space so edges stay crisp and the lighting—bright from above—carves the features and folds, lending the study a quiet, heroic presence.
