From your outstanding drawing I'd say this man is not only a 'Giant' but a 'Moody Giant'.
Your use of the the pencil is remarkable an all the more so as you are self taught ! Since joining FAR I have admired your work and this image is right up there with the rest - it is flawless - congratulations, well done. Regards Ronnie

Thank you Joel, for breaking this down.
Comment from Will V.
Your artistic talent is outstanding. Do you do portrait drawings professionally? I work from photographs too (I paint landscapes) but only from my own. I am fearful of copyright violation otherwise. The light and shadow in this portrait is exceptional. How much time do you spend on work like this?

Hi Will. Yes I do portrait drawings. It takes between two and three days to complete a drawing. Thank you for your review, and your interest.

Stunning! The texture, sharpness, shadowing and detail are perfect! His expression is right on with the original photo. There's no need to give any advice, it's perfect! I've fanned you, would you do the same?

Comment from snowblaze
Of course this is a five star drawing! The eyes are the most compelling part of your artwork -- and this one is no exception (but, then again, his eyes WERE wonderful!) Great work with the hair and shirt collar -- both could have easily been overdone -- but, as usual, your deft hand created a truly beautiful and balanced work.

Comment from avmurray
This really a great portrait of James Dean from the Giant.You know I usually have some comments Linda, but this time I don't see I a thing I would have done different or corrected. As always this done paying good attention to details, and it is such fine contrast between dark and light.
I also think the very tight framing is working well which means a well composed drawing. It is a truly lovely and well done drawing.

Comment from Alveria
Wow, great drawing of this handsome actor's brooding facial expression. A shame James Dean died so young. You have captured his signature brooding look perfectly. Great attention to detail and visual impact. Awesome. ~Alveria
