Vanity Fair May 2022 Cover

Fell somewhat behind on my project of drawing 12 pages -- with my non-dominant left hand -- from each issue of Vanity Fair but I'm getting back on track.

I draw a rough-ish sketch in pencil and then go back and finish with fineliner ink pens.
By the time I had finished pencil drawings for the May issue the June issue had arrived and by the time I finished those pencils the July-August summer issue had arrived!
I find myself listening far to much to my inner critic, what drawing guru Danny Gregory calls "your monkey."
No good ever comes from paying attention to that monkey!
Here's the first drawing of the issue to which I added pastels to get some of the Andy Warhol flavor of the cover.
