Description Here's a portrait of Mr. Bob. He was my art teacher's Gardener in England.
I never met bob, but man was he photogenic.
I drew a pic of his hands earlier. Good greif has the man got veins.
Roger said Bob loved to whistle while he worked.

Graphite on cold-press Crescent 100 illustration board.

This is simply stunning work. He does, as someone else mentioned, look too regal to be a gardener. He looks more like a lord surveying his manor.

I think this is worthy of a .

thats awesome...mr. bob looks like a very perfect old man, if you know what i mean...some people dont age well. or even if they appear to have aged well, inside they are a mess. to me, at least from this picture, mr. bob looks like he's aged gracefully. full of the right amount of pride, dignity, and wisdom. i really love this... def fav for me!

Two amazing pencil pieces. One annoyingly good acrylic piece that makes me want to puke when I look at my own (I messed up the colours, %$^$ it).

And people wonder why I hate you. *cries*
