The Line King – Al Hirschfeld

Al Hirschfeld’s grandson has posted this video to YouTube of the master himself creating a drawing of Paul Newman (in character for a production of Our Town). Very unique pen/ink styling, easily recognizable, you don’t get the “scratch-scratch” like this using today’s Cintiqs and his persistent wife at the end, too funny, what can you say when you’re 99 and you’re in the zone!?
