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

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!
RodsArt
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!
Ardiva
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.

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
melevos
Excellently done!!
FluffyAnna
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!
Pontigary
