I blew this up and still can't believe it's drawn. And, I don't see a problem with the hair. However, you clearly know what you're doing so I'll have to trust you to know what you're talking about.

I commented before on this artwork...
But now, I'm back after I've seen so many extraordinary artworks, not only professional... but too damn top photo-like drawings. And still saying that this one is certainly the best of all of what I've seen in here.
Please, how many hours did it take you.. would u describe to me what helped u doin it this way ?
Many many thanks

Thanks for your compliment, Ihab.
The number of hours work depends on the complexity of the reference.
Some took me like 20 hours+ like the Travolta piece. [link]
But it was only my 3rd attempt at digital.
The Reno piece [link] took me a bit long as well...
coz' it's my first attempt at detailed close-up.
But the Keith Richard [link] took me much less time..
as I became more familiar with the technique.
Please elaborate on this question..
"would u describe to me what helped u doin it this way ?"

Hahaha...I wish I am like my idol...
but when I said 20 hours of drawing...
it doesn't mean 20 hours straight.
It usually takes me 4-5 days depending on my mood.
I guess one of the important factors is that you must really like what your drawing...
not only the art but the reference picture.
I have some drawings I started but never get to finish them..
because I get tired of looking at the reference photo.

I've seen lots of professional drawings of this marvelous actor, but yours is the one that took my time the most to make sure if it's a photo or a drawing... I can't wait to see your gallery man.

did you use a picture as a reference or did you draw this over a picture or? did you just draw this? looks very real.

OMG! at first I looked on the picture and thought "so? He took a picture with a camera and played a little with the shadows"... and then I realized... you draw it!!! OMG! It looks so real!!! Good job!!! Excellent work!

I still don't know if it's a good thing that people think my drawing is like a photograph.
I mean a drawing SHOULD look like a drawing.
But I really appreciate your comment.
Thanks!

I agree...it's not the mustache..it's probably the highlights.
Will make retouches as soon as I can.
