Still learning about those dark pencils drawn to study reflected light. Kept the bright part as minimal as possible .. hope it works.

I really like this, great work with the light! I love how smooth the shading is too. You really captured his pensive expression.

Thank you .. you're the first to mention it not turning up so i can't comment on that, it may have just slipped by. Just getting through stacks can sometimes be difficult as my pages jump all over the place .. a real pain and i've deleted a few by accident too many times to mention. Let me know if it happens again though and i'll journal to ask if anyone else has probs

eajna In reply to markstewart [2013-04-18 17:40:06 +0000 UTC]

yes, I guess that was it, probably clicked too fast through my notifications. I gotta be more careful if I don't want to miss out on such great pieces like this one
