Noooooo... not harry pothead!
bah
The pic itself is good, but it's too heavily shaded (its all blue!) but he's a pothead so it explains

Hmm.This is a sketchy one i guess but i enjoyed to draw it.

i think you should do it much lighter, add more higlights and so on..

it's really good though.

Thanks, tyron..

Yeah, i know it would looks better if there were more light and "empty points" but now i looks dramatic. I had lots of fun when i drew it on ball-point pen. It a bit blocked-up thou..

Wow, that's really impressive. In fact, unless you used a reference, it's staggeringly good -- how did you get familiar with that face so fast?

My crit is, the head is only so very slightly bulbous, but this happens all the time when you draw at a desk, or at any angle. Were you looking straight on at this? Maybe if you pinched it a bit at the top he'd come out more balanced...

Fantastic work, man.

wasting skill on lame characters...

j/k

nice technique, i like drawing like this in school, it can really produce impressive effects.

Drawing with ball-point pen must be the nicest thing!
Does anyone else have that problem? Sometimes it seems that I just draw better with those. I just love the feel of them.
Am I too weird?

Hi, people!

Nice to get crit and advices. I haven't been here for three days so I couldn't answer.

There could be some weird things on this pic but I don't want to fix them. Every ball-point pen pic is unique.

It's also a bit hard to fix them.

Little Bee, I get familiar really fast. I use to draw many pics daily.

Edraket, yeah. That's it. I love it too.

Thanks again.

I FEEL THE SMELL OF PEN !!

The face does look a bit dark, but if you made his clothes solid blue, the whole thing would look a lot more realistic. Awesome job.

Thanks a lot again!! Thank you.

It's sooooo cool to get crit and feed back.

Samokhin, thanks man! I felt same when I drew it... hehe hehe.

Tinusch, i agree. It's very DARK. I didin't want to leave things about white so much. And , yeah of course, I focused on the face more than clothes. Thanks oldie (member)!

Heyjjaa...

Sorry about digging old pics but I was wondering if someone could do color version of this?

Hmm... just a thought

Nothing really great at work from my side. Just some blending modes, proportion adjusting and glazing. But maybe it can give you some idea as a colored version.

Edit: Posted the bmp version by mistake. Oooops.
