Good Night, Sweet Prince

Description

Ok, so here is the worst kept secret I've ever had, the gift for my mom. My tribute to Sir Laurence Olivier, one of the greatest actors to ever walk this earth. His version of "Hamlet," was really what started me with my love of cinema, and why I do sometimes sit and watch old movies.

Picture is 8x11
Graphite pencils: 2H-9B (yeah, I pretty much used all of them)
Blended with tissues, tortillions, and stumps.
Highlights with erasures.
Approx. time, 14 hours, give or take.

(It's done as much as I am going to do it, have that feeling if I do anymore, as usual, I'll just mess it up.)

*small view is cool, but I think the full view is better. MSR

Yep this is great!! I prolly have to say the best part of this drawing in terms difficulty is the hair. You've done it wonderfully. You've given good detail to the strands and also the reflections on the hair. I usually try to avoid drawing pictures that have very fine details on the hair because I get very impatient and mess it up. I drew a picture of 2pac and I avoided drawing his hair by putting his well known bow tie around his head. I envy your hair drawing skills. Great work!! :)
