Description
I'm baaaack!! I know you all thought I had disappeared for good, but I'm here, really!
OK, so this took me quite a while because I was sooo busy with college stuff and everything else that yeah, it took me about 2 months or so *dies*
I am quite pleased with it, to be honest...done in charcoal obviously.
So hopefully I will be posting again soon. I really am going to start on color now, and we'll see how that goes!
(By the way, Rafael Nadal ^-^)

Wonderful work!!!
am doing a portrait on Rafa, so thought of checking how many of them in dA has done traditional drawing...
Your drawing is too good...
By the way am a huge fan of Roger...
hahahaha

Thanks for the comment! Your Rafa drawing is spectacular! I'm also a big fan of Roger's--it's tough being a fan of the top two players, lots of mixed emotions!

Jaxene!!! My pleasure dear....
Is it so?!
yeah i understand that its bit tough!!!
But I always wanted my Roger to win the matches...
Earlier i just hate Rafa, not that because he is bad, but because he just beat Roger everytime, now I admire his talent, but still my support is only for Roger!!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww, it's impossible to hate either of them! I go back and forth with who I root for. Roger came along before Rafa so I rooted for him but when Rafa came along I was also a fan of his. So now it's definitely tough when they play eachother! It depends on the circumstances. For instance, if they play the final this year at RG, I will probably root for Roger. I can never tell though until I'm actually watching the match who I'm rooting for, so it makes it exciting for me too!

hahahaha...
Its bit tough know!!!
If they meet in finals it would be great for all tennis lovers, especially for Roger and Rafa fans..
But Djokovic is on the way as a blockade for Roger, am just scared of him...
Hopefully Roger should crush him in Semis. I will supporting for Roger as he has never won a French Open, it will be a real challenge...

True, but Novak seems to be having some trouble lately, as far as I've seen, but perhaps he's overcome that. It should be a good tournament, regardless! (I hope!). And yes, I don't tire of the Roger/Rafa finals, they're so exciting and emotional!

All the matches seems to be tough from now onwards, as the tournament enters into Round 3! We can witness some wonderful tennis for the next 1 week!!!

Well..I'm a Roger fan, but this is a great job!! Well done!!

Haha, thank you! I'm a Roger fan too, I love them both (which makes all these finals even more stressful! However, both of these year's Slam finals I have to say I was solidly rooting for Rafa for the first time...)
Thanks again ^-^

Oh, this is wonderful. It's spot on. Your talent for shading and proportion are magnificent. I'm watching Wimbledon at the moment and he looks to be in great form.

Muchas gracias! I appreciate it. And yes, he *does* look to be in great form, I'm well impressed! Still not sure whether he'll win it or not but I think he has a great chance at it.

heyhey love the pic!!! Mucho Bien!....i think that means very good..???
btw wat was the reference pic of this???
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks a lot! Glad you like it. 'Muy bien' would be the more correct term (mucho means something like 'a lot'
And the reference pic was from the Spanish Vogue magazine (lots of other great pics in there too!).

I love the details in the lips and the shadows on the face, but I wish there was more contrast/shading as well. Of course it could be the scanner/photograph. But it is a beautiful drawing and a great subject!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you! Yeah, it really was the scanner, and I tried doing it so many times and tried adjusting it on the computer to no avail. I mean, it's not *dark*, but it's much more detailed than the scan, ah well. Thanks for the comment, and it really is a great subject ^-^
Vamos Rafa!

It's a really good drawing. You've captured Rafa well. He is the best - technically Federer is but meh it's only a technicality.

*Gasp* Breathtaking! He has cateyes and I loooove
cateyes!! You're the BEST,Sunshine! Ya know what,hun?
Suddenly I'm not so strong anymore. R went to jail and I
was devastated. Hopefully, he'll only spend 45 days.
His Release date is set for October 5th so pray that he will
be released so I can hold him in my arms again,please?
Remember how torn apart I was when Matt left? This is
worse because I was actually with R in real life...able to
hold him,kiss him, etc. for 3 whole years. And I miss
YOU,girl!! I miss hearing you laugh because that always
made my day. Get in touch soon, please??
Love ya soooooooo much!
Always, Lis

One one of the best tennis players in the world......... Ilove him, too bad he wasnt at the masters cup in indianopolis this year, i really wanted to get his autograph.......................

you know what I realized? I'm the moderator/maintainer at the Livejournal RafaelNadal community you're in. ISNT THAT ODD LOL
anyway your style's not the most realistic I've seen but the people in your drawings always look alive, like they have motion, and it's expressive and unique. And that's so much better than photorealism. i think it's fantastic
