    Awesome work David. The eyes look so dynamic & full of life. They really POP from the image. Lots of graphite on this one… you must have had VERY dirty hands!! :)

  • David J. Vande... replied

    no dirty hands. Im a neat artist. I work from top to bottom, left to right and if I have to, I’ll lay a blank piece of paper where my hand rests. I worked to hard to screw this up and believe me, I have screwed up a few drawings in my time. LOL

    Thanks for the kind words!

    Brilliant work David, simply outstanding, I know that this is a stupid question, but are there 5 fingers but one is in shadow ?

  • David J. Vande... replied

    Yes, I assume he has all his fingers. LOL…. one cant draw something thats in the dark there is a trace of the missing finger but tis over powered by the dark shadow around him
