Lee Pace, he's good in roles when even you can't tell it's him, Guardian's of the Galaxy. You've got his presence so well.

I like the overall image. I feel that some of the features seem off? I always recommend harder shading, such as the neck and eyelids

Yes it got weak near the mouth and neck and the chin should be more delicately pointed.    I was trying a new technique and realized toward the end I didn't care for it much.  Thanks for taking time to comment!

Thank you.  And thanks for the comments, though I think in the source photo the shading really was this dramatic, probably even more so.  He certainly is pretty and very convincing as an elf.  I'm glad you like him!
more coming soon I hope!

Ohhh that's so nice!! So you used a white gel pen? Wow I should have thought of that I was try so hard to get those white spots in certain areas by just using an eraser but it always looks weird in the end..

BethannNg In reply to MorganJFK [2014-03-03 21:01:50 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!  I use an eraser too, but when I can't get something white enough I use a white gel pen, or even white fingernail polish with a tiny brush.

You're welcome!! Ohh I see! That's a good idea, I should really get myself one of those because my erasers aren't doing a good enough job. You use nail polish on your drawings??? Hhahah!! That's priceless! But no problem! =]
