Description *updated*...blended the background and his skin tone together a little more...finally *finished*

Here is the finished Dave Matthews colored pencil portrait. Turned out better than I had planned considering I haven't have much experiance with colored pencils.

It's approximately 11"X14", prismacolor pencils on cream colored paper...

I want to thank all of those who gave me kind words while it was in progress. I definitely amazed myself with this one, I have to say. Did not think I would be able to pull this off at all...

I too have been playing with colored pencils. So I know what you had to go through to get a result like this.
Well done, Gina
I hope to see more from you.

Another incredible piece. The color is astounding, and it's so realistic. Aaaaant Watchtower is my FAVORITE song to watch Dave play live. It saddens me that he rarely plays it.

Amazing Pic! You captured his facial expressions perfectly, and that's quite a feat too because he has some weird expressions when he s-i-I-i-I-i-I-ings. Big DMB fan, so I automatically fav this! Rock on!

You're welcome! I know how you feel! I felt the exact same when I drew this: [link] I thought "Oh, my God, how on Earth did I do this?" And I know if I tried to duplicate it, it would look crappy so I'm leaving it the way it is.

Hey deary. I am totally in love with this drawing, and I just tonight showed it to a friend of mine. He was absolutely blown away by your talent and is wondering if you would be at all willing to sell the original. He says to tell you that money is not an object. Thats how much he loves it. He is almost as big of a fan of DMB as you are. I know you probably wouldn't want to part with the original, but he is set on getting this drawing man. His email is: akamo5es@aol.com and his name is Brandon. Thanks for listening dear.

Color in general is something that I just avoid altogether because I'm too afraid. You have conquered a difficult territory.
