Description
I don't know who this person is. It might be Elijah Wood, it might be someone else. I don't know. I found this image online (it's originally from a French magazine) at an Elijah Wood fan website. The nose and the shading around it was especially interestings; the lips, too. This drawing gave me more experience in shading, and it was one of the first realistic, portrait drawings I had attempted in a very long time.
I call this a scrap because parts of it are not well done, and the original paper it was drawn on is wrinkled. I might fix this up some day - the hair of this guy wasn't really shown in the image I used for reference, because most of the guy's face was in shadow, including the back of the head area (the hair), and that left eye of his. I feel I drew the shadow over his left eye inadequately; it seems, the way I shaded it, like the viewer should see at least part of his eye. But that's not how it was in the image, and I wasn't going to make up and eye, so I left it how it is. I believe if I had had the patience and energy to shade all the shaded parts darker, this mystery man would have ended up looking more mysterious.
