I chose one that I thought showed his arrogance.

Intentional?<br /><br />Do you have a vision of your subjects in your head, or are you looking at a picture? I also noticed the folded paper you were using - to prevent smearing, I assume?<br /><br />Good work; and worth all 2 minutes and 56 seconds to watch you do it. :)Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08180243708565855383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-45668487115875159922013-01-22T13:52:15.128-07:002013-01-22T13:52:15.128-07:00Me too-not a fan of Lance.

I could see it too, just before Lance's mouth and chin emerged. <br /><br />The whole admission, by the way, just saddens me. I don't tend to worship athletes either, but Lance Armstrong seemed pretty impressive for a long while.<br /><br />I am impressed by your process. I used to draw in high school and created some work that I was proud of at the time. But I always had to work really hard for the end result. You make it look so easy and natural. I didn't keep up with it. Can't do it anymore.terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12510457113017189354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-48869568947734570242013-01-19T15:54:53.650-07:002013-01-19T15:54:53.650-07:00The drawing itself is fantastic.
