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

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
