Here’s my ‘Poet’ with a ‘gif’ image which shows the whole process, from scratching to re-inking to scratching again and repeating until it was where I wanted it.
Here’s the whole process in one image. If it doesn’t work for you, click on it so it goes to a separate page and it should work.

Oh my….this turned out absolutely beautiful.
Patrick, the piece turned out awesome, and the story is very interesting. Your intended charity ( most people would have seen a bum) turned into a blessing for both. That’s what moved me. You are a true artist. Have a great day. Pat
