Description
i drew this one over a year ago with a photo reference i found in a issue of Graphis from the library
Graphis is totally awsome magazine by the way 
anyways/// at the time i just wanted to do some cool portraits and stumbled across the picture...didnt bother looking up the details of the photo at all...and just recently... after discovering the great portrait photographer, Arnold Newman, did I realise who I drew
being honest with this drawing though... the face is distorted, like its skewed to the left.... shoulda really got my proprtions down first damn hahahah
o well, im still fairly happy with it...took around 2 hours and i just really like the hand - Copperlate HB
- Derwent 6B
- A3 Paper
- Photographed using my digicam
- Adjusted contrast and tone in PS

Indeed a severe likeness of the childlike old man, hehehehe. :} Yes it could use a little more shading, but its not bad, maybe play with the negative space a little?

Don't worry. As far as I am asked, Picasso would be proud :3

I think it is splendid! If at all it looks skewed, it just adds to his aged look, and the realism of the whole image. If anything at all must be wrong, it's that the shadows ate his right eye, but I don't know what the reference image was.
Anyway, utter amazement! WHY ISN'T THIS A DAILY DEVIATION!?
Have fun

ah yes...now tht u mention it ...i can see the entire right hand side of his face is pretty poorly shaded too
hahahah i remember trying to shade a consistent black using tht 6B... i mustve started from the neck cos u can the shading getting fainter and more rough as my hand grew more sore 
anyhoo... thanks for the lovely comment
