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.

You've probably heard this so many times before; but you've got an amazing talent. Drawings not one of my strong points, but your drawings are an inspiration for me to start drawing and get better.

Well, thank you! I'm just a pencil artist; I must admit, it was the photo that made the piece, I didn't have much to do with it! ^__^ Your photos are also phenomenal. Wow.

I love it. Cheers to the photographer for the framing. It's even more exciting as a sketch - so rare you get such creative framing in a sketch....
