Description
"I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!"Well, i have never really liked copying from photographs or any other stuff. Actually, i had never done anything such as that until college and i hated the damn observation classes (thank god they're over). Not only that, those classes were kind of an artistic block for me, since i couldn't put myself to drawing what i liked to draw while i had them.
Still, this was a work in which i really enjoyed the result, as well as doing it. It is based on Daniel Plainview, from "There Will Be Blood". It is probably the only work i like and will remain with me from those classes.

Thank you
I made it with white ContΓ© Charcoal in a dark paper. I don't know how to name it in English, in Brazil it's called "photo paper", but i guess that's not it, hehe.

---------------------------------------- I sign this statement.
However, this is a good choice and excellent execution.

I know exactly what you mean, I drew from photos for many years of my life and loved it, when I started college was when I started to free myself up a bit and let my imagination run wild. The photos were the only teachers I had, I learned all the basics I needed to know through drawing from photos and life so I still love it but I understand that there is a different kind of freedom to just using your imagination.

It's funny because I'm quite the opposite I find my artistic freedom through observation (knowing that I can change it however I want does help) but I love drawing from photos and live models - and even though you don't like this honestly came out fantastic! Th highlights and the wrinkles are perfect!

Well, It's very personal really. When i'm copying from photographs I feel like I don't own what i'm doing, and I always had the idea that if i sticked myself to copying i would never find a style that really suited me.
I respect people who like doing it, but i just can't see myself doing it so much.
However, i liked doing this one. I kind of felt in debt to Daniel Day Lewis for such an exquisite role in that movie, like i had to do something as great as his performance to try and honor him, so it means a lot to me that people ended up liking it
Thanks for the compliments.

Thanks
Those light areas were really hard to reproduce, since the white charcoal seemed to fade away, not really sticking within the paper, but after many layers of painting it started to get the look i wanted. I'm glad you like it

That must've taken a lot of practices!
