An interesting and original composition, in addition to the obvious technical skill. Well done!

thanks Simon ... almost thought about displaying it upside down but this way seems to balance the composition a bit better

thanks D .. decided on this image after changing my mind about 3 times - has a bit more tone then whats captured here but that pretty much goes without saying anymore - doing my best to try to get time off to get up there as well!

at last something new from you! its great and what i love most is th upside down stare and how he/you is looking at the viewer directly in the eye. havent seen you use grapite for a while. do you like working small?

dizzykid In reply to Samhraidh [2009-09-14 15:11:33 +0000 UTC]
thanks man ... most of what you see is charcoal - more of the graphite is used in the light underdrawing - since the work is smaller its easier for me to control then straight using coal to begin - working smaller is a challenge - both large and small works have a different command on the viewer i feel
