Description
So, I woke up today to a beautiful sunny day. I was nearly finished my first character drawing for an illustration competition I was definitely going to win, then when checking the site for the finished illustration sizes, I noticed it. I had misread the entry date.Well, I wont be able to enter the competition, but hey, at least I can show you this.
I will finish this particular piece, paint it up and so on, it should make a nice traditional addition to my portfolio at the very least and hell, I just love this drawing.
The competition it was for was to illustrate a new version of Beauty and the Beast.
Pencil (6b I think) with a soft brush for blending, on crappy a3 paper. Took about 6 or 7 hours

i've looked at this one several times, but can't remember if i told you that i adore it! he just has so much character and shape and i try to narrow it down and say, i love his arm, but then i can't leave out his head, and then i can leave out his shoulders and neck... so... ummm... just... GREAT job man, great!

this is beautiful, man. I love to see an artist render an image with shading gradients instead of solid lines. Good work.

Thanks a bunch, I used a brush for it, it had never occurred to me before to even try that. I just drew and then I picked up the brush and started smoothing, it was a nice moment

Your art makes me want to get a tattoo, but i would wonder if it would reflect the awesomeness of your pencil art

What can i say! Absolutely beautiful. I think you never can beat a pencil image when they're done as well as this.
Do some more, there ain't enough in your gallery like this.

It's a shame the scan doesn't quite do it justice but even from what I can see of his eyes he appears tired, sorrowful; they're very expressive.
The only critique I have is the outlines of the topside of its forearm and the top of its back as well as along its neck are a little harsh. But you haven't painted it yet so that may be irrelevant.
A beautiful character piece, very nicely done.

Me scanner is only a4 and this is a3 so I had to do it in segments and photoshop it into one piece.
Ya, the outlines are strong there, but I plan to do a dark background of colour around the lit areas of the body (those ones) so they wont show up like that in the finished piece... hopefully
Thanks for the comment

I love the beastly yet emotional feeling to it. It's a great representation of the Beauty and the Beast. Keep up the good work, your art is amazing!
