Description Hey, all. Tryin' something a little different. Ref used. I was reading a script the other day, when I was faced with something that made me feel like *such* a n00b. It's simple enough for a writer to say "The boy's grandfather enters the room. His old face is kind and wise." I was like, "Uh...what exactly does a 'old, kind and wise' face look like, ya know? I guess it shows me how much more studying I need to do. Hence...this. ^_^ I can get called upon to draw *anything*. As soon as I think I'm doing pretty well, I flip the page and get called upon to draw something that I have *never* drawn before. Wow... just gotta stay with it.

BTW, I think the middle face looks "kind and wise" (at least to me). Ha! Hope you like it.

it looks like these drawings dont take days to draw, i'm amazed at these sort of quick sketches and how they can portray so much. good work!

Hey, love the composition, triangle movement between them all.... anyway you should have applied a levels correction on the image for that yellow from the paper not showing.... it has no sense for me if it is deliberate

Indeed. I've learned a bit since then. That pic is over 2 years old.

Thanks for the comment! Take care. ^^

Great ones. My faces suck so much the only way to notice an old man is if I draw white hairs xD . But you already managed to make old man faces without needing hair. You're a pro, man. The one in the right looks like my late grandpa somewhat T_T

Nice work on all three, but I especially like the one in the middle. He looks like Malcolm McDowell! ^_^

Hmm you have a point there. Always drawing young people in the bloom of their lives is cool, but you always forget about the old and wise ones. And I think these are the people with the most interesting faces...

The first one is the funny old grandpa and yes the middle one does looke old an wise to me

Yea thats awesome, always a new task ahead, & finding things thats normally not done in your personal routine is always a mission, but always self rewarding, good deal... Keep up doing good work... always good inspirations...

Yes the second one, i like the bottom one too, but the second one, looks more nice/wise, while the bottom one is more cool/secret kind, and does not show that much emotions

kind and wise - the two don't often go together. Try either upping grandpa's meds or light-boxing some Bill Keane.

I'm kidding of course

Nice work on all of them, although the one on top could definitely use a little more fiber in his diet.
