Lincoln, Lincoln, Lincoln, Lincoln

For the "one thing done four ways" challenge I chose something iconic. Mr. Lincoln. Here he is in a pencil sketch, an ink drawing done in the style of R. Crumb, a warm little happy Abe painted in PhotoShop, and an Anime (Japanese) style hand inked and colored in PhotoShop. Go, Abe, GO!

I like first Lincoln on the second row the best! He is so cute with that sweet smile and those dancing eyes!

The first one (pencil sketch) is actually a pretty good rendering of the original photo (just google-image abe lincoln), crooked tie and all. :) The crooked tie was a bonus (along with that "painful" wart) for each drawing.

I know everyone likes the third one but I'm a little partial to the R. Crumb one. I think I did a great job capturing his style.

Thanks, everyone! :)
