Description This is for a very, very special friend. Just wanna say "Thank you"
Best of luck for the rest of the tests By the way, sometimes, not getting where you want to be originally may be one of the best thing that will ever happen. Trust me, i know And it's still 3 weeks early, but happy 7th season! i know you dont count the first 3, but i do

_____________________________________________

This took me about 70 hours. It's on a paper slightly smaller than A2. It's the first time that I used grid. I only used it to get proportion right, that's why i used 10 by 12 squares. Done with 2B, 4B and 8B.
This was harder than any other drawing i've ever done. in fact, this is the 8th attempt. Well, you know what they say, 8th time is the charm.

Very good work, well it's too hard to appeal to the very same faces but it's close enough to theirs.
Congratulations for your efforts, your patience and result

There is nothing wrong with using the grid method. I have used that many times myself, especially on big drawings.
I think you did a fantastic job on this. The creativity and uniqueness, the details and the expressions are incredible - outstanding work

bm23 In reply to Carol-Moore [2009-11-10 07:56:16 +0000 UTC]

i understand that it's a legitimate method and is extremely helpful, just that i spent a good 4-5 years doing line art, so im quite used to drawing from scratch. that said, i think i would use the grid method for the next few drawings since i need to put together a portfolio quick
and thank you so much for the compliment
