Description
ahhh, the story of my life. i start a bajillion drawings and after an hour spent, or eight, working on it, i decide i hate it. this happens everytime. i either mess the drawing up, or didn't sketch well enough, or ruin the paper, or whatever. the list goes on and on.

i liked the reference pic a whole lot because of the focus lines and such, and the drawing really started to turn out well. i kind of felt like this one would actually be a nicely completed work of art, because i felt the need to actually follow it through. and then i started working on his shadowy out of focus neck, and it all went progressively downhill from there. i must have this complete and desireless unability to do blotchy, unfocussy shading. (you can tell my negative level of skill in this with the small area of shading between his face and hand.) and it's not like i didn't spend time on it, i did. too much probably. that just made it worse, and worse, and, if possible even worse, because i erased all the heavy graphite at least 4 times to start over, which then just utterly ruined the paper, and there is nothing i can do to fix it now.

so, once again, i have ruined a nice drawing and will never complete it, so this is all you get.
and also, his fingers, they look really odd. i compared it to the original via layering and it matched fine, but yet...... no. maybe it all began with the fingers, the fate of this drawing, in the far deep reaches of my mind.

(if this is a duplicate submission, sorry. something messy happened while uploading the file, which didn't go through, and now dA is going very slowly.)
