Ballpoint on paper. ca. 3h

Nothing special. Just an older drawing (June 2004).

Wow, this is amazing. I could never successfully do cross-hatching, but you did a great job :+fav:

With ballpoint? Wow! There's no way to erase mistakes...
I like how realistic this looks. Did he model for you or did you use a photo for reference?

Seeing this, I wish I knew how to properly crosshatch. ^^;

thank you very much .. was a tough one, that guy. and yes, i started out with a photo reference - but quickly got beyond the original face .. i doubt electus would recognize himself in this picture.
