Description Dr. Hannibal Lecter (as portrayed by Mads Mikkelsen) from Hannibal

Time Taken: 5 hours
Music: Had to be classical.
Tools used: Pencil on paper


This time my shrill scream of "HANNIBAL!!!!" is one of profound annoyance and frustration MIKKELSEN'S. FACE. I spent so long trying to get his cheekbones right I completely forgot to draw the eyes in proportion and sent this one hurtling downwards at terminal velocity into Uncanny Valley. Thanks, thanks a lot.

Seriously, I'm calling this series "Torture by Portraiture", and I really should have known better than to try draw Mikkelsen second off the bat (practiced with Hugh Dancy first but NOTHING WILL PREPARE YOU FOR MIKKELSEN'S ALPINE FEATURES GUH) so just sitting here ragequitting *flips table* Also if anyone read my rantings on Tumblr then you know how pissed I was when the finished drawing turned out to be too large to be a good companion piece for the Will drawing. I'm still mildly mad. Siiiigh. Well, hopefully the Beverley Katz drawing will turn out better (EDIT: it did)

Torture by Portraiture:
Will Graham
Beverly Katz

Cheezits -- the rendering is quite perfect, I mean, just look at that tie. wth, it's glorious. But it's actually quite amazing that you did this in 5 hours - how big is it?
This seriously needs more faves, I thought this would have more!! Isn't there a club for sexy suave older guys anymore? sheesh =_=

OMG YOU THINK IT'S GOOD *dies* you know I just love your portraits of people right? This means I must be on the right track! But yes I am always happy with how my pencil drawings turn out; it's less about the rendering and more about the shapes underneath :S but thank you!!!! It's just over A5, it's really small, I used a mechanical pencil and that let me make the textures really fine... 

LOL! It's ok, I'm still big on practice for my portraits OMG You and I can start that club for sexy older guys, I swear!
