    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!
