Description I really enjoyed drawing this one. Kobe is by far my all-time favorite basketball player. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did drawing it.


graphite
9x12 in. (or something like that)

The realist, highly detailed is my favorite. I see you have an appreciation for fine details and an eye for it. When you draw you look closely; that is evident. My advice to add is, after you've closely observed... look even closer. By that i dont mean neccessarily magnify, but instead to just look deeper at shapes, the "detail of the detail" ? The precision of your work makes the viewer (me) get drawn into the marks. Begs for a higher resolution pic to be inspected... for me. All that to say nice work indeed.

I'm not a Bryant fan, personally, but I gotta say, this is an incredible likeness. Amazing shading job! Perhaps the balck shading around the back of the ear is a little too linear. Anyways, good work!
