Description This portrait features one of my favorite musicians, the multi-talented Camui Gackt.
I used a 0.5 Mechanical Pencil only, no smudgers or finger use to soften it - this left it more real & technically challenging too, though this scan is of really poor quality (gomen!) and the scanner cut literal inches off his shoulder & torso. The original drawing is 11.5 X 17 inches and much softer looking in the actual graphite...one day I might scan in a photograph of it so that you can see the whole thing with a truer quality. ^_^
Total time: 18.5 hours.

Thank you!!! I do love myself, but I think I love him more for inspiring me as he did. And I swear to you I shall never stop - and I intend to do even better things in the future, just you wait and see.

Hmph! This BEAUTIFUL pice of art makes my drawing of Gackt put to shame! I'm jealous! LoL!

The shading is just WOW! and what makes it more unbelievable was that you used a 0.5 lead pencil for this! I can't shade with my lead pencil for shat!

Great job! ^____^

Ummm.... Thanks?

lol, but 0.5 pencils are easy to shade with, so long as you have the right lead type. Have you tried a B or 2B lead?

Woah, that's so realistic you think he's about to move (Not to say I wish he wouldn't, hey?)
The contrast between light and dark is really beautiful, the shading is unbelievably accurate - perfect infact.
I really love his hair and his shirt.


It's a pity about the scanner though =/

I know, I'm still hoping to take a photo of him and post it too, so that people can see it better and whole and stuff..... but I don't know if I can take a decent picture since he's framed now - permanently! Gods that frame job cost a lot of money, but it was professional and well worth it so I don't mind. Thanks though for your comments/compliments - I wish he'd move too!!

Thanks! But DA's been so good to me, so I can't leave now.

Much as it would be an excellent idea to sell this though (I've actually had a number of offers ), I can't bear to sell my babies!!!! I'm WAY to attached to my works, and can't seem to stand the thought of selling them....an eternal source of irritation to my family, as you can well imagine....

Well wait till you start running out of food...then like third-world citizens you'll have to sell your babies for money... (i kid, i kid)

Nope! I refuse!!!! Besides, I'm actually getting pretty good at starving, so no worries! (Sad to say my stomach's shrunk again of late from lack of feeding, so I don't require much anymore....just a small thing or two a day. Not good, I know!)
