Description another classical portrait.

i like the outcome of this one, especially since i drew only 2,5 to 3 hours on that. It´s not to detailed, but that´s ok, i suppose.

materials i used: pencils and a "mars lumograph" (for the black blacks!)

hope you like it, too. comments and fav´s are very appreciated!

greetings, tomjogi

Wow the causeless rebel, very nicely done. It looks very realistic, especially the hair and the shading effect works really well, gets my fave.

Wow! As a James Dean fan, that is AMAZING! Every day I come on this sight and am put thoroughy to shame by the likes of you! Excellent work! Especially the hair, which I find the hardest to draw.

there arn't many highdefinition picturers of james dean are there (with obvoius reasons!).
i'm familiar with this series of photos, the grittiness, and high contrast really holds the feel of the era and reminds you that he's cemented his place in history from one image. congrats for keeping with that.

I really like the rougher, "chunky" look of this (does that make sense?) He certainly is PERFECT for that style. A smooth rendition, like the Marilyn, wouldn't have suited him as well. This is so good, I must fav it!

FANTASTIC detail... it's very simple in the black and white but you still showed the rugged looks and the perpetually tired feeling he emits in photographs. You captured him very well (and if this was a Print I'd buy it ) DEFINITE fave!

thank you very much for your nice comment and the fav. ... maybe someday in the near future i´ll resubmit it as a print, ... i can inform you about that if you want ... i allready bought a print-account some days ago, but i don´t get it right with the "dpi-resolutions-quality-size-thing", ... guess i have to read the manual again ...

Ooooo yes please do let me know ^__^ Oh this little faq helped me out a LOT with print size info: [link] that's the correllation between the pixel size of a pic and the print size (ie. 1:50:1)

awww.. he's so cute on there very classic yes! And also, how I LOVE the contrasting effect! just adds to his rather mysterious side..hehe. Well.. for a piece with little detail it's really not all that bad! Sometimes simplicity is the key to success.. hmm... I'll invent a new philosophical saying witht his Anyways, amazing job on this too! Love it, very "smooooth"
