Hi all,
Dont' know if anyone remembers me, but I used to hang out here ages ago. I had a few issues and now I am back drawing again.
My latest piece is a graphite drawing of Brad Pitt on Bristol Board. Took 120 hrs...ish drawn from a photo.
Hope some of the old gang are still around, although I'm not adverse to making new friends

Dayum, that looks good! Extremely well done.

I don't think we've ever met here before, but welcome back all the same.

Hi SuddenLife,
Thank you for your nice comments.
It has been a while, so let me introduce myself. My name is Carl and I live in the UK (London). I am a hobby artist who hopes that someday someone will want to pay loads of ££££ for my work. :biggrin:
However, in the meantime, I will be happy just selling the occasional piece and enjoying the other riches of my life (3 Children and a Mrs)
I am happy to answer any questions you might have art or otherwise.

Carl

Hey Susan, thank you so much, it's nice to be back.I have had quite a few life changing moments over the last year, not all bad, but I'll tell you all about it as time goes on.
For now, I just want draw, I'm pretty sure that is what God intended for me to do, it just took me a while to realise it. :biggrin:

Wow! Your texture and shading is amazing! The only thing that is standing out to me is Brad's left cheekbone. I feel like it could be moved up and "back" a bit. Otherwise, again, wow! You are extremely talented!

Wow that's amazing. I'm trying to develope my abilities to photo realistic level. It's taking me quite a while to figure out the tools and techniques. Can you tell me what type of paper you use for a drawing like that?

Good work. The grid in the back-ground is a pain to get rid of!
