Description Manny Pacquiao "The Pac Man"

Haven't drawn in soooo long, was a bit rusty, but persevered.

Manny is so grounded, even though he is, in my opinion, one of the greatest fighters
ever to have graced a ring.

Tools used:
Steadler Clutch pencil 2H, HB, 2B
Tombow Mono-100 6B for background
Blu-Tack for highlights

No Blending on this one, just pencils.

Hope you like it.

I agree, he comes across as a very humble man, and has such a great talent. Thank you.

awesumness! cool shading!
just watched pacman-bradley this morning, and me thinks he won the fight, but never the same aggressive pacman he used to be

Thank you!
I have watched the fight twice, the second time I scored it, and even if you are generous to Bradley with rounds 1,8,10,11 & 12 some of which were close, it still goes Pacquiao's way 115:113.
It makes no sense, good luck to Bradley, but I think Pacquiao was robbed.

I think Pacquiao has lost a bit of his hunger, due to outside the ring commitments, but he is still a great fighter with heart and an example to all the younger fighters of what can be achieved if you are humble and respect the game.

i've been browsing some pac-brad threads and they share the same view as yours. me and dad meanwhile thinks he's just playing around, or he sold his fight to bob, to as far as he's under threat by some vegas' mafia just like mjordan's case before.

but yeah dont get me wrong, he made us filipinos quite proud for a decade already. brits looking up to him (like hpotter) is just too much to take tbh. teehaha

btw where to buy that Tombow Mono-100? pretty neat bg

You have every right to be proud, he is a great man. (hpotter...lol)

Good question Caitlin,camera or scanner Carl,those pearlies are the biz,cant do anything with my uploaded images,they look shite mate!

Larc-Romeo In reply to guinnessdaze [2012-04-03 00:05:36 +0000 UTC]

Just a bog standard scanner, this washes it out, but it has a restore fade button on it which does what it says on the tin.
Otherwise you can just open it in Photoshop/Gimp/Paint and adjust the levels till it looks close to the original.
But that said, they never look quite as good as the original drawing.

Never used my scanner,maybe I'll get the wife to have a go (she's the clever one)But i don't think any of my pictures have come out good with a camera,cheers Carl.

I tried a camera, but I couldn't get them to come out very good, they kept going different colours blue/pink etc...

How did you get that skin texture? It looks so amazing.

Larc-Romeo In reply to AstroZombie91 [2012-04-02 23:52:12 +0000 UTC]

Thank you,
Kind of an experiment really, just using a 2B in the darker areas and moving into the lighter areas with a Hb then going over it with a 2H to fill in gaps, but left unblended.
I think it gives it a rough look, but still smooth enough to be seen as skin.
Fitting for a fighter I think.

AstroZombie91 In reply to Larc-Romeo [2012-04-02 23:55:08 +0000 UTC]

It turned out really well and really looks like skin to me. It got me motivated to draw. I was in the middle of a portrait and ended up spilling tea all over it and never started again.

Ahhh...I had a similar experience with a can of coke on a commission piece, I learnt my lesson.
Thanks, Look forward to seeing your work.
