Description
Edit (1st September) I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has favourited this drawing or added it to their collections. It's really appreciated but I can't thank you all personally. All comments will however be answered.
This is my drawing of a pretty famous photograph which was taken in 1909. It is of a Southern Cheyenne called Wolf Robe. I had drawn my first version of this is 2004 and decided it was time to have another go. I did this portrait in the evenings, when the light was not right for doing my big tattoo project, so it took longer to finish. I reckon it must have taken in excess of 30 hours. Done in graphite (2H through to 6B) on Winsor & Newton bristol board, A3 size. Frame added after scanning. The technique used on the skin was circulism. My very first attempt at circulism and I really like it for realistic male skin.

It definately does. I'm ashamed to say, I had never heard the term, and I am now wondering how different some of my drawings would be had I have used it. Thank you for teaching me something!

has an excellent tutorial on unblended skin using circulism. There is no need to be ashamed, I hadn't heard of the technique until a couple of months ago.

I really don't feel the quality of this is suitable for the intermediates folder of Graphite-Gods so have been forced to move it.

Ya wee tadpole ye!
My stomach hit my feet until I checked out where you had moved it to. In all seriousness, and pay attention here 'cos I don't get all serious too often, thanks very much for that, it means a lot. But your cards still marked.

Is that some kinda Celtic threat? 
Anyway, now I can say what I really think. It's completely stunningly stunning with a hint of stunning added. I love it and will probably spend the next few days looking at it with envy.
