Description
First off, sorry for the long wait. It was hard finding time to work on this.I am insanelyy proud of this piece. I've neverr put so much effort and time into anything I've done before. It's not even close to perfect and not quite accurate but I don't care. By the way, first male I've ever drawn successfully. ;D
This kid almost killed me, haha. Those freckles were insane. I'm not quite happy with the shading but I was too lazy to fix it. In the middle of working on this, I bought a kneaded eraser and it's AMAZING. Seriously, I don't know why I didn't get one sooner.
I'm thinking of entering this into a few art shows in Iowa this year. :]
Eleven or twelve hours. 4H, HB, 4B, 8B. Used this as my reference. Thank you.
Comments and critique are very appreciated. :]
Featured here . Edit: This won first place in the youth division of the 2009 Iowa State Fair art show. : D

Your lying. It's a photograph. It's gotta be.
Because if it were a drawing, I'd be compelled to kiss your feet.
Seriously.

Love it. Love the freckles, you did an awesome job of making them work, I'm terrible at freckles. 
Your work reminds me of this guy: [link]
I think you have potential to be that awesome one day. Especially since you're so young and pulling out work like this.

You know I love this! I'm curious, though... Why did you title it "Shattered"?

Thank you. :]
Honestly, it was an impulse-name for the WIP. But it was inspired by his eyes because they looked like broken glass. I was also planning on adding a broken mirror in the backround but I decided against it.

Wow!
Love the closeup, makes it different. The freckles are cool, and it's amazing how much expression you can show with just an eye and an eyebrow.

Off the hook. The reflection in the eye and especially the texture of the eyebrow are simply unbelievable. Great job!

Really great, the eyes really capture the attention, I wish I had the patience to be that detailed....
