Description Finished!

Sean Penn, you may know him for his work in I am Sam, Mystic River, 21 grams, Dead man walking...and many more.

I admire his work, and I've always wanted to draw this picture of him, but I didn't feel prepared until now. I chose this title because of his role in the movie We're no angels (with Robert De Niro). That's one of my all time fave movies, and I love his work on it.

As you know if you've followed the wip, I've loved to do this drawing, and hope you enjoy seeing it as much as I've enjoyed drawing it. This time I've mostly used circulism.

Thank you so much for looking and for your comments and favs during the process.


0.5mm HB and 2B mech pencils and 4B pencil.
Duration: around 14-15 hours.
Size: A4

Fantastic drawing and well named. Sean Penn is definitely no angel but he is a really good moviemaker and actor. Plus he seems really down to earth too.

nabey In reply to staticgirl [2007-06-16 11:39:15 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I thought the title fits him, and fits the image, and also fits the reason why I first liked him (the movie I mentioned). Glad you like it!

I loved Sean Penn in I Am Sam! That movie was so sad! He did such a great job! I actually haven't seen the movie We're no angels, but I should because I love Robert De Niro too!

Great work as always deb! Love it when I have goodies from you in my deviations to look at! etc

Oh, yes you should see it! I love it, De Niro is great, and Penn...well exellent as usual!! it's also Demi Moore, she's fine.

No worries! Oh and I was going to upload the pic I drew, but I ended up starting to label all my deviations coz I'm being a bitch now and putting my devlink of everything lol, and also just fixing stuff up like borders on a few etc!

So I will def upload the pic today! Don't mean to sound up myself but it's soooooooo good compared to all my other crappy ones! You will be impressed I hope! lol hug:

amazing work as always, I'd love to see put more of "you" in your work. I would be anxious to see what you could come up with an original idea. With that said, you have wonderful technique and your textures are stunning. This is def. one of your best, nice job

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comment
You know, my problem is that I need to have the idea perfectly defined in my mind, I've had several ideas for drawings, but I just need to see them clearly, otherwise I start the drawing and never finish it... Also, I'd need a good camera...lol.

Wow

And you only used three diffrent types of pencil?

I would love to be able to draw hair like that

nabey In reply to PureRandom [2007-06-16 11:27:14 +0000 UTC]

Thank's for your comment!
Yes, only thos three types I usually use 2B to 6B and then HB and 2B mech pencils, but no this time.
The hair is just practise, I had no idea how to draw hair when I started drawing portraits (not so long ago)

That's a really strong likeness. I like your gradation work, even if the scan (as always, it seems) made it look spotty.

The scan always makes it look worse than it is in reality...although my scanner works pretty well, but yes it makes it look spotty...

Brilliant Deb. What I love with this is the quality of the observation.You have the gift of seeing in this incredibly detailed way and translating it into your drawing.The way the left eye is distorted by the pressure of his finger is the sort of thing I mean.And I can't remember seeing a hand so well drawn.Terrific!
Janie

Thank you so much Janie for such nice words! It makes me very happy the you like it, and your words mean a lot! I love to draw pictures that have that kind of things you say, little details that make it really fun to draw and help me learn and improve. The wrΒ‘nkles around his left eye are an example I was kind of worried it would look weird, but I think it looks good. Oh, and the hand...well I rushed it a little, haha, but I'm very glad you think it's well drawn!

By the way, I was going to draw your pic of Jake after this, but I came across another picture that was totally telling me to draw it, haha, but I'll definitely draw Jake!
