Description
EDIT: 3/26/06 Drawing is now in the private collection of =darthmarlan .---------------
I couldn't sleep. (What's new.) So I asked one of my favorite DA photographers, =darthmarlan , if I could sketch his self portrait "Observed" (it's one of my favorites of his many wonderful photographs). Check it out: [link]
Happily, he said I could, and here is the resulting sketch.
Thank you, Simon; I love this pic. It was so very fun to draw.
2 hours, graphite.

Hehe, I keep tabbing back and forth between the photo and your drawing. I like that you added added more dark values to his right (on our left) eye.

That's so cool that you did that, I do that to other's work, too, wondering what they've changed, or how they did something; how NEAT that you did that with my sketch, thank you! *beams happily*

Haha, you do it too? It's really interesting. like you said, you can see what people have changed, or how they may have interpreted something differently.
