Description
Colin from the photoshoot (The Lady Magazine [link] ). Most people were shocked to see Colin bigger and buffer, but as someone who likes to reinvent myself (unsuccessfully, but I understand the sentiment) I love that he is able to look so different every year.2H, 3B pencil on drawing paper, ~2 hours. Inspired by looking at some of artist Bill Mather's daily pencil work.

You're an amazing artist, this is lovely. I don't like him with facial hair though.

Thank you
Seems like off-season he grows his beard out. Must be a pain to shave everyday.

Thank you, it was an attempt to be a little more bold like you are and less soft.

Love the pencil strokes and how well you captured his likeness in this. <3
When I first saw those pictures it was the smoothed over longer hair that took me a bit to get used to, lol (and the interview/photoshoot was for "The Lady" magazine, by Alison Reid).

You're welcome. As for the mag, well, it was two words, and involved the feminine. I'd say you weren't too far out in left field.

This is a really good pencil drawing! It looks very realistic and charming. The only thing that bothers me a little bit is that his ear looks a little unfinished. Other than that, it's fantastic!

Thank you! I probably should have used some poetic license on the ear instead of following a too bright image.
