My pride and joy
I think this is the picture that I have worked the longest on ever....but I'm pretty pleased with this one...except the lamp. (If anyone has any suggestions for that that are easy to do and does not require the whole thing being rubbed out, do please tell!)
Medium: B mechanical pencil, 6B graphite pencil, assorted erasers, tissue and blending stumps.
Hope you like! Do please tell me what you think!
**UPDATE**
This landed highly commended at a country show
mm..mm...mmmm....Gregory Peck! Now there's a classic hottie! He's very handsome and debonaire. Terrific job on this image. You've used terrific amounts of highs and lows with your shading technique. The likeness is very good.
Thanks! And wow! Someone who knows who it is! I like Gregory Peck too...could you guess, since I've drawn him twice? Mummy and I have just been watching "To Kill a Mockingbird" and commenting on his acting!
I'm glad the shading worked- the reference had a lot of dark shadows, which I don't usually do, so that was a challenge- so was getting the likeness actually- I never seem to be able to get some people- and he is one of them.
Thanks for the comment
