Description Approx 9 x 11 Graphite and Charcoal on Arches HP WC Natural White. Approximately 40 hrs (but I really didn't keep track).
I wish the hair were better, but that was my challenge to myself on this one and it is better than my last attempt.
Overall I'm pleased with it. (or you'd never see it ).

The thing that attracted me the most in your works is you patience, you are one patient hardworking artist.

I'll be watching your works

Thank you for looking and commenting. I think patience is important -- time allows you to see.

They say Leonardo (your sig) worked some 20 years on the Mona Lisa, carrying it around on his travels...

If u are interested, I could tell you some info and even facts about the Mona Lisa.

Ciao for now

I applaud your choice of subjects. One tends to go through galleries stuffed with drawings of nothing but celebrities and beautiful people; it's refreshing to see portraits of older, less "popular" people, such as this old man here, who, with their time-creased skin and liver spots, have a certain charm of their own.

Great work!

The eyes smile so naturally, makes me happy just watching them.
Nice work with all those wrinkles too.

I'm amazed. Having seen a similar picture of old hands first, I desided to full view this picture that looked like it was a photograph. Only then could I see the finer details that distinguished it as a charcoal drawing. This is absolutely wonderful!

Thank you! It's both graphite and bit of charcoal.

Hey Thanks Michelle. Appreciate the support. Next one is already started. If AP is back up yet (it's been up and down all day): well looks like it's down so WC: [link]



Thanks again!

Wow you are fast! Yeah, I noticed AP was having hiccups again. Too bad. I saw your newest WIPs in WC though. I totally thought your subject was a creepy girl too at first. You certainly picked an interesting model for the new one, and no wrinkles

PS: Sorry I didn't reply in WC, but I'm not a member of that one

kennyc In reply to tanabatablossom [2007-04-08 10:12:28 +0000 UTC]

Sometimes fast, sometimes slow. Looks like AP is back up finally. Maybe I'll do a creepy girl next.

Thanks!

Yup, I saw AP was back up last night. It's a shame though about some images going missing Oh and another thing, that model you're using, I saw his user name pop up on AP last night too. Maybe he's keeping an eye on you?

Interesting. I sent him the links where I was doing the wip. Probably checking it out.
