Whatcha think?

If it weren't for the grain and slight smudging around the edges, I NEVER would have guessed this was a drawing. It looks just like a black and white photograph. You have some SERIOUS talent.

Absolutely amazing.

Just a little anecdote: My friend and I met Billy Joe through the make a wish program. My friend had cancer, and he wanted to meet his favorite musician. The two of them talked for hours, and Billy gave him his harmonica afterward. So I am forever in his debt for the caring and compassion with which he treated my dying friend.

Anyways, I think this drawing is spot on. Well done.

Whoa. This is stunning. That Billie Joe, he's one crazy mofo. Omg rhymage.
Those eyebrows! You drew each hair. I always just do a few wide pencil strokes. Hence the difference in quality between your graphite pieces and mine.

ichigosweet In reply to Crimefish [2005-12-15 14:23:51 +0000 UTC]

Awww, thank you. xD

I do my eyebrows more like yours than ya think. I pencil in a big blob and accent it with a few strokes.

Your sketches are awesome!! =O

Ears are hard for everyone to draw. Which is why I don't really care that it looks out of place in the pic.

... Because they're damn hard to draw.
