Too often, we lose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and bitch-slap the motherfucker upside the head...

excellent!!!!!!1 is a good drwing i really like the effects

put more from iced earth!!!!!!!! tim owens, Brett Smedley, Troy Seele, or Dennis Hayes.

It's looking good in terms of execution, but I don't really see the resemblance, and I think I know why (if I may be so pedantic): you've drawn by sight, and that's a good thing, but for portraits, there's no shame in using some aid to get the facial idiosyncracies right, especially if you're not used to doing highly detailed portraits. There is, for instance, nothing wrong with using a grid on your piece and the model to make the distances between nose and mout (of rinstance) match. Because any resemblance will be ruined if the facial features are incorrectly spaced.

Of course, you may have been going for a very natural and unforced piece, in that case my advice is moot. But even then, for training purposes, a grid is good (Hell, I still use it when I need to make an exact portrait )

"Well, Baldrick, today has been the worst day of my entire life. I've spent all my money on a cat-skin windcheater, I've just broken a priceless turnip, and I'm about to be viciously slaughtered by a naked Tunisian sock merchant."

I think you're right about the idiosyncracies being off. I'll be sure to try a grid next time I make a portrait. Thanks.

wow.....
speechless

Amazing. It's ironic to see how Schaffer's hair went from brown to grey. He's not that old. But, I guess a lot of stress comes with being a musician. He even has a daughter now.
