Description Edit: ok I think I took a better picture

I love how this guy looks something about his eyes they are just so interesting, and draw you in. He just stares at you no mater where you are like he is looking into you soul.

Graphite for his face and charcoal mixed with graphite background

great work, really fantastic! The textures are amazing, and you've somehow brought out the eyes more compared to the ref.

At first I thought it was a picture! how do you do stubble? I'm doing a drawing of a guy who has it and I can make it look right.

TanjaLouiseArtist In reply to ToSeeAButterfly [2010-01-24 08:07:08 +0000 UTC]

hehe thanks for the stubble I kinda do it like my hair little fine lines, flicks and little dots with the pencil and I also use a stump and cloth to dub at it and just keep adding and erasing till it looks right I brought a electric eraser (its does little white dots) and I cut it til it was a point which gave the effect of it looking bumpy. Hope that helps I'm so horrible at explaining things.

Thanks I love his eyes and wanted them to look as real as possible for the white I used a white gel pen I had been seeing alot of ppl using them thought i would give it a go and worked great And also helped with making them look real.

Catluckey In reply to TanjaLouiseArtist [2010-01-24 19:14:35 +0000 UTC]

White gel pen. I'll remember that. Erasing with a kneaded eraser can become a pain in the "you know what!'

Yeah, those eyes are mesmerizing. Then your overall shading and excellent porportions set them off!
