I'm actually good with pencil, but there is a problem... I get bored easily and it would normally take me ages to finish something half the quality of your work !

thsi one wasn't so bad, only took about 12 hours. Some of my others have taken anything up to 50 hours to finish.

You'll find you will get more patience as you got older, or at least i did

This very well done, so realistic! I like the dark tones and the way you rendered her expression a lot.

Thankyou, I used alot of silhouetting which reduced the drawing time, yet still quite effective i think ! It was a high contrast exercise more than anything else, but i am pleased with it.

Well, she sure is beautiful.. you are one lucky man. For some reason, though, I thought you were younger.. I do not really know why.. But hey, this is great, the composition, lighting, shading, everything. And it has this lovely simplicity compared to a lot of the other things you do, which is good, but obviously not meaning the others are bad, that would be a huge lie.

Thankyou Hammer, first off age is how you think ! I still feel 25 most days And i agree that this is nice and simple compared to my other work. I used alot of silhouetting which reduced the drawing time, yet still quite effective i think ! It was a high contrast exercise more than anything else, but i am pleased with it.

thanks again for commenting

You aer quite right about age, I guess. I think I must have an old soul, to be frank. NOt necessarily a very very very old one, but older than my years count, perhaps. Or perhaps I am just surrounded by people who seem younger than their years.. this was complicated.. hmm. Interesting.

Very nice Leigh. It pains me that I do not have any good photos of my wife when we were young that I could do a decent drawing from.

Drawing your wife over 30 would be pressure indeed. Think about trying over 40 though!

Thanks Steve, luckily my wife had a photographer boyfriend for about a year before i met her and i don't get permission to draw her over 30 !!!
