Artist's Comments

Well here he is, after about 70 hours of pencil on paper.

Tommy is a friend of my husband and as he has such an interesting face I wanted to draw him. My hubby took a photo of him sitting in our car during a break from choosing slate for a house they were working on at a quarry.

Stats:

A2 Bristol Board
H wooded + HB, B & 2B 0.5 mechanical pencils.
Kneadable eraser for highlights
and cotton buds for blending areas.

That's it then! Thanks for the great words of encouragement from my friends! I'll be putting the WIPs into my scraps, so they can be viewed there if anyone's interested. :D

That is an excellent piece of work. Really nice DOF for the background. The details in the sweater are simply amazing. This individual does have an interesting face that seems to be full of experiences and interesting stories. The expression is very lifelike. You have captured a moment in time with a beautiful lifelike rendering.

Excellent.

This is absolutely going to blow his mind when he sees it. I can't believe your attention to detail, and how you had the patience for the sweater is beyond me. And the beard? Amazing. Keep up the wonderful work, I can't wait to see more.

Artist is the creator of beautiful things.

We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely…
All art is quite useless.

Lovely - the best part is the look in the eyes, really faraway.

Has Tommy seen it?
