Description "Joe closed his eyes...And then he did something he'd always wanted to do from the very beginning, from the very first night he'd met Ratso at Everett's Bar on Broadway: He put his arm around him to hold him for a while, for these last few miles anyway. He knew this comforting wasn't doing Ratso any good. It was for himself. Because he was scared now, scared to death."

-James Leo Herlihy, 'Midnight Cowboy'

Without the white gel pen, this would look like shit. It DID look like shit. It still does kinda look a little bit like shit, actually. I'm gonna have to do another one to redeem myself.
Enrico Salvatore Rizzo/"Ratso" and Joe Buck from 'Midnight Cowboy'. Dustin Hoffman...is not easy to draw, which is angering, because if I could only draw him effectively, I'd be drawing him day and night. John Voight, on the other hand, was surprisingly easy.

Anyway-- the ultimate example of "guy love". Whether it bordered on sexual attraction or not, we will never know (and I personally don't care to know). All I know is that the love these two shared was the purest I have ever encountered in books or film.

-sanguine pens, watercolour, WHITE GEL PEN.

This is fantastic. I would hang it on my wall, if I could.
