Description Yay! Time for some much-needed fanart of one of my new favorite people, Isaac Bell! Mr. Bell comes from the novels by Clive Cussler, my current favorite author. Bell makes his first appearance in "The Chase" as a no-nonsense detective for the Van Dorn Detective Agency, chasing down criminals in the early 20th century. It's great stuff, although some may argue that he's a bit of a Mary-Sue. I don't care. He's a sexy Mary-Sue and I likes to read about his escapades. At any rate, the books are a great return to Cussler's heyday--excellent action adventure/thrills that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I highly recommend them.

Wow, that sounded like a blurb. Only without following the rules of grammar.

Anyway, Vicki finally revealed to me how to color a sketch in Photoshop without going over the lines and all that extra work. Thank you, linear burn; you've made my life a lot easier. At any rate, I used different styles of coloring on each head. Opinions? And yes, I know I suck at drawing hats. Poo-poo.

Heh. Seems I`ve chimed in three years later. *sheepish grin*
Have you tried drawing some of Bell`s colleagues (Van Dorn et al) and the crooks he deals with? That would look great!

Also, have you read other series that Cussler has done? The Oregon files and the Dirk Pitt novels are two that I can think of off hand. Your drawing is amazing. My drawing of human faces is not the best despite my efforts. I just can`t seem to make them look alive.

No kidding. I read The Chase, The Wrecker and The Spy at least three times and still enjoy these books. I`ve just finished reading The Chase and am now reading The Wrecker again.
Great job on the drawing!

I think The Wrecker has to be my favorite but they're all so good! I don't know if I can wait for Cussler to write another ! And thank you! I do enjoy drawing moustaches.
