Description
THIS IS A DRAWING, NOT A PHOTO!After a ton of hard work, here it is, finally completed. I had it done just in time, and was able to hand it in to be put with the rest of the pieces that are going to be part of the exhibition.
My hand has been playing up though. The pains that I was getting after fracturing my hand came back while I was working on this, so I'm glad that I can rest it up for a while and be a little cautious without having to worry about any deadlines!
And to think that I started this portrait at Christmas....
Please check out as it was his amazing Elephant photo that I used in the first place. (with permission!)
Border-Indian Ink
Elephant- 6H, 3H, H, HB, B, 2B, 4B, 6B, 7B. 2 blending sticks, a kneadable eraser and my finger.
Time taken: I would estimate that it would be 30-38 hours. So much!!

If you like it, please fav it! I want to know that my hard work is being appreciated.
NOTE
Fullview is a must to see all the detail that has come of my hard work and pain!
EDIT:
This photo of it isn't so great, so when I get it back from the exhibition, I will update it.

Sure do. Can be great for smudging/blending as long as your fingers aren't too oily at the time

Yep, I know the oily finger problem well

You're welcome. I actually was fooled, like many, into thinking this was a photo on the preview.

*blush* Thanks! I'm glad you like it

Wow, great
Compared with the reference, some shades could be darker. But it's great, and without the photo I wouldn't have noticed anything
I like it, it's unusual
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I do agree. It was difficult for me to get it darker with even my darkest pencil. I was unfortunately only using cheap photocopy paper for this one so I was limited by the thickness of the paper there. In order to achieve the darker shades I probably would've destroyed the paper lol.
Thanks for the comment!
