Artist's Comments
Forever young, forever inspiring... The immortal James Dean.
I think I've gotten so much better at this , comparing to my previous work.  I changed my shading technique to cross hatching and it works wonders. I also used a wider range of pencils: HB and 2B all the way to 7B. Tips and criticism apreciated.  Comments
 I love it! Maybe work on softening the shades with one of them erasers or even with your finger to give it a more soft feel? I dunno, but I do know that it's great!
 Thanks! I thought of that but I like drawings that show the artist's "brush" so to speak, they are more expressive. Which is why I left it like this. Might try smudging more in one of my next works though.
Hey, I can't draw for the life of me, I figured I should throw something in there just 'cause you have it set on to Advanced Critique. My way of sounding smart.
Ha.I just love it as it is, though.  i really like your style, it's rough.... in a good way though!
my two suggestions would be to darken the top of the forehead to reduce any "wig hair", and maybe work a little on the ear. it looks a little pointy. i might draw some individual swooping strands of hair in that area. great job, keep it up! -- i'm one of the 98% that's smoked a lot of pot  Nice JD! It's like you have movement and activity in your drawing. I almost expect him to turn his head and look straight at me!
 I like the lighting you chose to draw this in. It gave the drawing a real dramatic feel that suits him very well. Great job :}

 great drawing, great character
 amazing!! I love love your style. its rough and strong and just..really so amazing!
 much better
as a tip I'd say find some equilibrium in the drawing, I mean, there's parts too bright and parts too dark, maybe trying to soft that out would be better. |
