Hey Ricardo, I won second in the contest! I can't believe it, especially with all the great entries, including yours. Too bad we both couldn't have one, I'll see you in the next contest! Ron.

ricardo-bruins In reply to ronmonroe [2012-11-24 21:28:41 +0000 UTC]

Thats great! You should have won first place like i said before. And i also predicted that the guy who won third place would win something...my bet was that you came first and he came second...i was pretty close with that bet.

I dont mind not ending up as a winner. I only enter contests to get some attention for my drawings. This was the third contest ive entered and ive won first place in two of them.
I gave away those prizes because i only enter because contests are great showrooms

Its all fine the people who should have won,have won. Only downside is that you should have won first place man.

BenGoodspeed [2012-08-27 14:49:59 +0000 UTC]

So this is your entry? Well... that is certainly not bad, of course...

Softness is important. I know in school they really nail into your head "make those darks darker, don't be scared", yet, conscious gentle softness as you have here, is what really makes these portraits beautiful.

Love the way you've done that leather, as a feel of wanting to touch it, excellent work, thank you, Mike.

ricardo-bruins In reply to sentientmaster [2012-08-20 22:16:01 +0000 UTC]

Thanks i really wanted that part to look good because the lighting makes it stand out and people are drawn there because of it.... so the texture of the leather had to be really nice.

If you look closely you can even discover a few of my fingerprints

Ive touched the paper and it became visible while drawing.

I left it that way because i thought it was a neat thing( i have at least one fingerprint in every drawing).

It will forever be a way to show its my original work hahaha

Very nice! I have entered the same contest. This would make a very nice second place! lol (only joking) It's a great drawing.

ricardo-bruins In reply to ronmonroe [2012-08-17 21:46:53 +0000 UTC]

Hahaha yeah i have seen your entry..... really well done... not as realistic as mine but close enough for that second place i think hahaha

Nah i dont think ive got a chance but thats not why i take part in the contest.
Im doing it to get some more viewers for my work
I was talking to my parents the other day and said that i thought that you would win.(i never mention my stuff as winning material...thats a "no GO" if you ask me)

I like your style....for some reason it reminds me of 70s-80s magazine work,im sure you will end up as one of the winners
