Description
Pencil, paper, my meager talent. :^)
I've been working in 3d so long, I've gotten really rusty with a pencil. I actually made a muscle in my forearm sore drawing this, LOL. It's been around 20 years since I tried a dedicated sketch (I'm 50), so please be kind.
Thanks for looking.
John

you doing great better than me
That's really very nice. Very lifelike, and you've captured a great expression. The shadowing is very realistic.
A very good likeness(I think). You're much better at this than I am. Nice shading technique!
Quite good tjohn. I haven't picked up a pencil to draw in a loonnng time.
I like your shading technique, it gives a very energetic feel to the drawing :o) My only crit would be that the proportions are off - the right side of the face (as you look at it) is much wider than the left side. Also I kinda feel that the strong line around the neck of the sweater, and around the ear, pull those parts forward a bit too much. But wish I could draw that well......
Fantastic use of the cross-hatch... spot-on technique!
i like it! - pog...my son has the same shape of face with one side slightly wider than the other. It's a genetic thing. smile
be kind? How could we not...you did an incredible job...the shading is wonderful and you technique seems perfect...and you know...it looks a bit like Eric Clapton I think. I would comment on the face...but honestly as no person is perfectly porportioned I think it looks amazing..and also adds character...and a uniqueness to the face and honestly...um...I know we all have a unique look so..I say EXCELLENT JOB and *VOTE INCREDIBLE!!! :O)
Man... You get my vote TJohn... this is a very fine piece of work!!!! Especially in the sense that you haven't done a dedicated sketch in 20 yrs. Apparently you haven't lost your touch. It is a much better job at sketching than I can do for sure.
nice work, almost crumb in the line style. Very evokative and smooth.
i wish i could do that kinda stuff. but i can't. excellent :)
A fantastic drawing and portrait. Excellent!
This is fantastic!!
Agree; Excellent sketch! Just the right sketchiness. I'm hittin 40 in november and dropped my pencils, when I found bryce. hehe
This is soo good.
Excellent artwork!!!
I would say that "The Rust" on your ability was only fleeting.....marvellous,marvellous art !!!!
splendid portrait!!!bravo!!Vote!!:DDD
He actually looks like someone I know. It's always fun and fascinating to go back and brush up on old skills...you did wonderfully...
The look on your eyes says it all , that you've been working hard to produce such excellent art work. As far as I know that only the Masters draw them selves & when they do it they do it perfectly . Love your style . Vote
Excellently done!!
You obviously have a real natural tallent. This is a beautiful drawing that really shows the personality of the model. going back to the basics is always good (not that i'm biased or anything!). Excellent!
Excellent sketch! Expressive and masterful!
great skills, i think drawing is the cornerstone of all art
