I’m sort of blowing my wad for tomorrow’s blog post but I just couldn’t wait to post because…
IT’S FINALLY FINISHED!!!!
I seriously could YELL that as loud as I possibly could. It’s done. Put a fork in it.
Just some tid bits about this little drawing:
40+ hours
1 sheet of paper
5 pencils (2H, B, 2B)
3 erasers (cause I kept loosing them)
4 tortillons
3 cases of Diet Dr. Pepper – no really
So dun, dun, done… or drum roll or something…
I couldn’t even begin to tell you how much of those 40 hours I spent on that jacket. Probably half. Seriously.
But he’s done. Now I need to find something else to draw… maybe a werewolf? What do you think?
Jen…..I am speechless, and that doesn’t happen very often!! This is just, WOW! Beautiful!! What a fantastic drawing!! YOU my talented friend are just amazing! Xx

Wow, that jacket is definitely amazing. But the eyes certainly caught my attention first. The depth you put into his eyes is incredible.
