Pencil on paper

approximately 10 hours

reference photo by Clay Patrick McBride

Sully Erna is the founder and lead singer of Godsmack, one of my favourite bands. The photo I used for reference is on the cover of his book "The Paths We Choose" ***PLUG WARNING*** which is a terrific read even if you're not a fan of the band and has enriched me spiritually in many ways.

Ok, to be honest with you... I'm quite proud of this one. I think this might be my best pencil drawing so far, and it taught me a good lesson. About half way through I noticed something weird about the glasses. It became clear that i messed them up in the early stages and didn't realize until I had already detailed them. I thought that the drawing was screwed. The lesson I learned is: always pay attention to the proportions and never neglect any mistakes if you notice them. Instead, get at them mercilessly and you might be able to save the drawing. I just hope I will remember it.

I used a blending stump this time, and it was a pleasant surprise to see what it can do.

Świetna praca! Idealnie wydobyłeś kontrast. Jedyne "ale" jakie mam, to że szyja jest nieco za długa - może kołnierzyk z lewej strony powinien być deko wyżej..
Ogólnie jestem zachwycona:)

:worship: wyśmienity portret. chociaż zgadzam się z przedpiszącą, że szyja wydaje się trochę za długa. niemniej okulary robią świetne wrażenie.

Dzięki wielkie - z kołnieżykiem masz rację, jest za nisko, ale szyja jest raczej w porzątku, on chyba taką ma. Niestety poza szyją podobieństwa ze zdjęciem nie udało mi się w 100% uchwycić... Może innym razem :)
