Description The title was going to be 'They're gonna make a big star out of me', but that seemed a bit too long.

The third in my Beatles' portrait series. Three down, one left!

Prismacolor pencils and white paint for border highlights on 9" x 12" Stonehenge (cotton paper).

Thank you! He's fabulous. Even now. He's the only Beatle I've seen perform live, and he still has that wonderful sense of fun that comes through on all the old footage, as well as great talent.

Thank you so much! I'll post progress photos when I have a chance (in my Scraps - that's where I put drawing odds and ends), hopefully they'll be able to answer that better than I can in words.

Just had to drop back for another look at this as I'm in need of a little ispiration. It's so beautiful it sets me off to the studio in the right frame of mind. Some things are a joy to stumble across...none more than this
