Description - Gordon Ramsay [link]
- Hells Kitchen USA
- The F Word
- Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares

Brief:
this is the first Portrait I have done in a while, I'm not really a portrait person, just wanted to draw someone.

I used the front cover of 'Humble Pie' as a Reference. As you can see there are slight differences. I didn't include the pin strips, cannot do them, simple as. I slightly altered his expression and altered the colour of the shirt.

As you can see, the back ground wall is all beaten up and well worn. I used references to the Moon here, worked well I must say.

To say I'm not a portrait Artist, I am pleased with this.

Materials:
- Pencils: Derwent - H - B - F - 4H - 6H - 3B
- Colour: Derwent Studio - Spectrum Blue 3200
- Pen: Stabilo Fine Liner - Black
- Paper: Sea White of Brighton - A4

Creation Time:
- 15 Hours 45 Minutes (Roughly, over two days)

I am a big fan of Gordon Ramsay, so you chose the right chef to draw! I love his expression, and how you've stayed truthful to all of the lines and wrinkles on his face. Amazing!

Wow Totally amazing! I love that it has some hard lines but still appears soft and the *pop* of the blue color really adds a lot. Great Job all the way around I can't believe that you drew this is only 15hrs...it would take me forever to do something of this magnitude.

Yea I'm a bit shocked at the time frame, didn't really think it would be below 30 as I'm not a portrait artist, don't have that much experience with them.
Thank you very much for both the comment and favourite

My wife loves his show. And I have to admit, I've been caught up in it before myself. Very good job, not only is it done well, but I recognized him at first glance of the thumbnail image.

Awesome, thank you very much for both comment and favourite.
I watch his shows too, they are great. I find it funny when someone does something that appears more idiotic than you thought possible, and he goes off on one. You can guarantee most those watching would be sat there thinking, "Boy am I glad I'm not in your shoes".

The way you made him remindes me of a final boss from a 2d fighting game

Jeff1966 In reply to devouredex [2007-09-27 01:40:02 +0000 UTC]

That's true. But I think what makes him worth watching is the moments when he shows he has a heart. If he was just a hard ass all the time, I'd never watch him. Makes you appreciate the method of his ways.

True true, Like when I watched The F Word and he could go through with shooting a dear. Or the times you see him with his family. He is human after all.

Yeah, I like that about him too. He's awesome.

Thank you very much. To me he looks like he's about to have a major blow out with someone, 'calm before the storm' as they say. Thank you for the favourite too.

I saw this one the front page earlier and thought it looked really cool. I didnt even know it was yours at first, definetely different but still your style. It looks so 3-D, especially the shirt. and I love the touch of blue color

devouredex In reply to artsaves1228 [2007-09-26 08:22:04 +0000 UTC]

Yea I wanted to do something different. I think the scanning had more to do with the 3D appearance, really smoothened it out.

I love the B&W tones and the detail! But maybe if the background was more representative of his personality it would look better. Keep it up John!

Thank you. The Back ground was last minute. I was going to leave it plain but that would be a little crappy.
