Estelle O'Brien
His hands are coming out! Did you touch his eyes? I can’t see where you need to…I’m sure he would be honoured at the way you have drawn him…especially with his trademark glint in his eye!
mimi yoon replied
thank you! thank you estelle!
no, i planned to… but his eye looked happier, i thought, in my drawing than he’s in the ref. photo… so i decided to keep it as is.
i touched up his ears… drew a few more lines to form his hand and the collars… chamois-ed here and there…
i could but really don’t like to do tight rendering… rather photograph if i was looking for a photographic result… the truth is i just don’t have the patience for it :P
i thank you sooo much estelle~

This image jumped straight out at me. I have been a fan of Leonard Cohen for years, and your image truly captures the essence of the man and his music, bluesy, moody, and powerfully strong in emotion.
Excellent artwork!
