Description Ian Somerhalder - Contemplating
Finished drawing.

Charcoal and graphit on Arches hot pressed paper.
Reference: [link]

WIP 1: [link]
WIP 2: [link]
WIP 3: [link]


I love the reference pic, it´s something special and his eyes look very intense on this photo.
Actually I kind of love all photos of him.. not just because he´s so attractive, he´s the most positive person I´ve ever known. That´s catching, he changed my live in an incredible positive way.

I´m a member of the German IS Foundation support group and that´s the most important thing in my life now.
If you want to join an ISF group in your country please contact me, we all need to work together
You just need to know, that there are possibilities everywhere on earth to make a change, inspired by Ian Somerhalder

Ok, I´m done. Thanks for reading

Btw, Ian will sign this portrait, my dream is about to come true ^_^
Update: Here´s a photo of Ian signing my drawing <3 [link]

Thank you!
Glad to hear that, since my motivation to start drawing one year ago also came from all the amazing artists here. I didn´t know it was possible before I saw it here...

This is INSANELY EXCELLENT. Wherever your mistakes are (which you, yourself know), it is part of a masterpiece. Ian should be drooling over this and cry out, PLEASE, PLEASE DO ONE OF ME!!! It's amazing how you got every detail of this spokesman and actor. His hair, expression, eyebrows, brilliant eyes, mouth, hands, ring, leather jacket, turquoise bracelet, and anything else like the scruff on his face.

Now you've made me a fan of Charcoal! Congrats to a beautiful and magnificent artwork!

I'm going to ask you up front if we can use this art piece as a SKIN and not only that as an INSTALLABLE SKIN for other folks here at to use and for more exposure to you???? I know you're already a part of the art group, but we don't want to just assume. Is that all right with you for both SKIN types????

Hey
omg, you´re awesome you really write the best comments ever, thank you so much for taking the time!
Ian is going to see it, hope he´s not drooling *rofl*

Sure you can use it, I´m flattered

Catluckey In reply to RicaEder [2011-06-28 18:05:26 +0000 UTC]

You're awesome too! Thank you!!!! Hahahaha... Ian will DROOL, not because it's him, but because of the beauty you've projected out of your drawing. He should be amazed! I would be nice if you got some commissions from him of his family... well, I'm getting greedy for you!

Beautiful, just beautiful!

this is freaking me out!!!!!! it looks absolutely photorealistic!
i don't know if that was your intention though.
But i need to congratulate you for this fine piece
And well what better compliment is there than an original sign from Ian!???

and don't be so über-critical, nobody will see any mistakes, because only you seem to see them ) i see just: perfection
