Description

I got a nice older sketch from Finch earlier this year for a good price, but I prefer things inked. So when I saw Richard Friend was doing inking commissions on Finch pieces I decided to have him ink and finish it for me. The Finch original is a smaller 9x12 drawing on thin paper, so Rich had to ink it separately and hates bluelines and graylines, so he was able to (I believe) blow it up on a lightbox and then he penciled and inked it on a larger 11x17 art board. As one of Finch's best inkers ever, he was fully qualified to do that and make the piece even better and even bigger and I am thrilled with the results!

I am adding the original pencils to the additional images but it is also posted in this gallery on it's own.
