For this illustration, I combined an Ingres-esque portrait of Honest Abe with the text from his famous Gettysburg Address. The illustration began as a pencil drawing, followed by two versions of digital colorization.
pencil drawing, heightened with white, on toned paper. 7.5 x 10.
digital colorization of pencil drawing (soft palette)
