Artist's Comments

This is another commission I've done, its of Martin Luther King, Jr.

It looks a whole lot better in real life as always the scan takes some of the quality away :( I had to scan it in three parts then stitch it together in photoshop. Its an A3 drawing and i have only an A4 scanner lol.

Took me a ruddy long time, like 50 - 60 hours or something like that.

Was drawn with mech pencils ranging from 0.3mm to 0.5mm and F - 4B, i also used cotton wool to smooth out the shading (its a lot smoother in real life I spent ages doing it)

Hope you like it!

Any questions or what ever just ask em :) and ill try to answer as many as i get...

Andy.

///EDIT\\\

Due to an unhappy comment about me not posting the source and crediting the photographer im putting this up. Just to add i didnt know the source, i got it off of google images, and if you look at all my other drawings i usually give credit when i know who to give it to :)

the focus is very good, it draws you straight to his eyes.

I'd imagine that beared area would have got a bit muggy at times and probably hard to get right.

The tie is great though mate, very good.

Take care, SB :ahoy:
