Pedro Almodovar Sketch and Others

"Pedro Almodovar"
(Ink and Watercolor on Paper - photo reference from New York Times)

A friend recently suggested I do a watercolor sketch of the Spanish film director and screen writer Pedro Almodovar.  Always up for an art challenge, I decided to give it a whirl.  The sketch above took me  a little over an hour.

The sketches below were drawn and painted from Sktchy app photo references.  For the first one I only had 1/2 hour available, so I rushed through it.  Kind of fun to do it that way!  The bottom one took about an hour. For both I used a Pigma Micron 01 black ink pen.
