Electronics prodigy. Bongo and frigideira player. Lockpicker. Safecracker. Artist. Teacher. Manhattan Project group leader. Storyteller. Winner of the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics. One of the greatest geniuses of our age. And a master prankster to boot.

I know that, when drawing portraits, I tend to like changing the background, the lighting, the pose, anything I don't like... to make the picture "mine" (because I'm weird like that). But while looking for reference images, I came across one of him in his younger days that was so perfect I didn't want to change anything about it. (Which doesn't mean that I *didn't* mangle it!). So yeah, a scribbly tribute to the late, great Richard Feynman. Who was indeed a fine 'un.

While I love looking at photorealistic pencil drawings, I also like nothing better than to haphazardly scrawl lines in any and every direction without much attention to detail. [Kind of like how I like to listen to violin sonatas, but I prefer playing the trombone because it's loud, brash and rude like me. ] For some reason that roughness never managed to carry over when I switched to digital media; I'm hoping that, by resuming my pencil-scrawling activities, I'll be able to bring some of that over, LOL.

Thanks for the framing help, =DobbyKnits!
