Artist's Comments

Ok, so I did what I wanted to...finished this one (as usual..finished as much as I want to do) before Christmas. The trimming on the hat and shirt were tricky, but I think I got the jist of it. Overall..I would say I'm happy with it..but could probably do much more. But anyway..hope you all enjoy this.

approx 16 hours

All WIP's can be found here: [link]

Hope you all have a safe and happy holiday...

Matty

Hey there, Merry Christmas to you too! I watch a lot of your work in progress pictures, it's intriguing how you do it, split the image into loads of little squares and fill them in? Just thought I'd mention I'm a fan, and you're an inspiration; I'm working on a portrait of my Dad at the moment, hopefully finish it off tonight.

Well thank you very much..I am honored really. I do use a "grid technique", just makes the whole thing easier on me. Mainly due to my eye not working..(can't see with my right eye)...and I can do it the other way, but why stress it right?? Portraits of family members (IMO) are the hardest. We have an idealized version of them in our head at times, and that is hard to draw. So good luck, and let me know when you're finished..I'd love to see it.

Also, stopped by your gallery and you definitely have some interesting work there as well. Definitely a lot of potential....just wish I was 18 again as well.

Talk to you again soon,

Matty

The only difference between tattooed people and non-tattooed people is that tattooed people don't give a shit that you dont have tattoos.
