Artist's Comments

Hi people!

I know that some of you wanted me to do a pencil drawing so here's the thing :)
The guy is the young king of a swamp tribe. He has some piercings and tattoos on his face showing his power. He has also the longest hair of the men of the tribe to claim his king status. He's wearing lots of snails shells (on his crown, clothes, necklace), symbol of his wisdom and perseverance...
I should stop writing stupid stories...

It has been done on the cheapest printer paper found in the supermarket so kill me for my lack of will (I didn't want to go to buy good paper... too lazy to walk out of my house).

A4 paper, 0,3mm HB mechanical pencil, 2B and 8B pencils, approx 30 hours.
The hardest part to do has been the blurry one! It had just killed me!
The upper part of the head looks very crappy because of the scan I've tried to fix it but it looks bad compared to the original.

I dedicate it to :iconpamzylove: because she told me she liked the guy (isn't he sexy? )

That is very, very awesome. Well done. I like your short little paragraph of symbolism. Fits the mood well.

Stunning in detail! Look at the wool sweater and all the little nuances everywhere, wow! I'm not sure how the horse fits into it (but in MSIE I cannot see your description) but his expression and armor/crown is awesome :) Very well done Dianae :)

A brilliant drawing, the detail is most impressive.

Am I too geeky to want a fairy-tale drawing done of my face so I can be cool too? ;)

This looks great. I love the snail shells and the other details.
You rock.

Take Care

This is just stunning. The sheer amount of detail amazes me, and your ability to create realism is astounding. I absolutely love this piece, and it inspires me to start drawing humans again. :+fav:

So how long was spent doing that shirt? That texture is awsome. I really like your shading.
