Description
My pride and joy
I think this is the picture that I have worked the longest on ever....but I'm pretty pleased with this one...except the lamp. (If anyone has any suggestions for that that are easy to do and does not require the whole thing being rubbed out, do please tell!)
Medium: B mechanical pencil, 6B graphite pencil, assorted erasers, tissue and blending stumps.
Hope you like! Do please tell me what you think!
**UPDATE**
This landed highly commended at a country show

Oh, I LOVE Gregory Peck!
This is absolutely fantastic work! I mean, yeah, the lamp is a bit off, but other than that, it's stunning (and really, the lamp isn't all that bad!)!
Keep up the awesome work! You have a terrific gallery!

Thankyou! Yes, I'm rather better at adding things to portraits now than I was way back in ... 2004. I think this was the first time I tried adding stuff that wasn't actually in my reference.

Thankyou so much! I'm obviously nowhere near as pleased with it as I was way back in 2004, but it's actually still stuck up on my wall, so it hasn't dwindled into something I can't bear to look at, which is quite an achievement!

Really a great job! This drawing signifies how I think of Gregory Peck: amiable, intelligent, reflective, articulate and well read. In high school, our copies of Harper Lee's TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD included a forward by Gregory Peck in which he praised the book and said that the town she described [Finch's Landing, if I remember] reminded him of the small California town he'd grown up in. I don't think that the lamp should be too hard to fix. It seems (to me) that it's leaning slightly to the right. Maybe, if you thickened it a little you could alter the angle and balance it. It might be neccessary to broaden the base and the shade too. Anyway, it's a minor thing. The drawing is awesome!

I won't be going back and fixing anything up, because this piece is just too old now (three years, heavens!) - this was pretty much the first portrait I did with things other than the main person in, and since such a lot of it was made up, it's full of mistakes. But I still quite like it! I'm glad you do too!

god this is SO amazing. Gregory Peck is unbelievably awesome and is the most handsome man in the world and you totally captured it.

you`re very welcome!! May I ask how long it took you to draw it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's a long time to think back, but I think it took me a bit over 20 hours, which is pretty standard for me now, although at that stage it was the longest I'd ever spent on a portrait.

Ive seen a couple pictures of him with a book, and those are always my favorites.. he just looks like a bookworm kind of a guy... er... a extremely HANDSOME bookworm..
Love it!

Thankyou!
When I went searching for pictures, there weren't all that many, but this was certainly the best. The book fitted, I agree.

This is just great; the likeness and everything. And Gregory Peck was my father's most favorite actor. This is a definite favorite.

Unfortunately, by now, I can see so many things that need fixing up.

Gregory Peck was an actor from the 40s to about the onwards. Probably most well-known for his roles as Atticus in 'To Kill a Mockingbird' and Joe in 'Roman Holiday', but was also in a lot of war films, a few romantic ones, a couple of Hitchcock movies, such as 'Spellbound'. Did quite a lot of films over a number of genres, in fact, but he's not so well-known now.
I'm glad you like my work, thankyou!
