Description After joining and submitting my previous entry of [link] I thought it might be nice to submit something new.

I actually timed myself! For this 6'' square drawing, it only took me 3.75 hours! I'm quite surprised, actually, that it only took that long. Maybe because it's fairly small?

Anyway, tell me what you think!

This is a rare angle to do a portrait! I guess it's harder to capture him from this angle. But you have done right!

Profiles are great! But it's easy to loose the person you are trying to capture. Thanks for the fabulous comment!

I like that it's something different for me .. I usually do the normal, smile at the camera! type portrait .. let's have some emotion!

toxicdesire [2007-08-21 18:23:38 +0000 UTC]

Well done! My words, a 6 inch square, thats not very big, I would have died trying to draw something on that size .I knew it was him from the thumbnail, he has a cute smile

mindilina In reply to toxicdesire [2007-08-22 01:07:44 +0000 UTC]

I should play with some bigger pieces, but then what on earth do you do with it when you're done? At least the little ones are well, little, and fit in sketch books and stuff.

toxicdesire In reply to mindilina [2007-08-22 02:13:16 +0000 UTC]

I put mine into a art binder/presentation book . You can buy different sizes anywhere from 8 1/2 x11 + on. But if drawings that size work for you , then keep on keepin on!

mindilina In reply to toxicdesire [2007-08-22 02:19:19 +0000 UTC]

I usually do them a little bit bigger than 6x6, generally a full sheet of sketch paper (whatever size the pad it, generally not bigger than 9x12) .. it's just the poster sized stuff .. I only have so much wall space!

He is really cute when he smiles I bet it was, I must get down and make a drawing of him now, too. Haha, it's like a chain reaction
