Drawing of Russell Allen

[Rose Immortal]

I did this last night...

This technique is new to me and I think I gave him more "attitude" than the source pic by accident, but I had fun drawing it!

Nice! I like the lighting on his face. Gives a "V-ish" look.

Just one thing that bothers me...his iris on his left eye. It looks like its falling out of the socket....unless you did that on purpose

Looks like a Russ Jesus Allen...

yeah nice job, i too like the shadowing on his face.

It's not a perfect drawing, I know...but unfortunately it's going to be a long time before I get a chance to do a new version, because I'm gonna be REAAAALLLLLY busy for these next several months.

But anyway, thanks for looking!

You know I love it *tries to do the hug thing of what they have on DeviantART*.

By the way... would you like me to submit this drawing on my Symphony X Club account?

 

[Medusa's eyes]

I forgot to mention that I actually think it sort of looks like a van Gogh drawing.

 

[Metropolis Part 2]

Wow, really good? How long did it take you?

 

[Rose Immortal]

Van Gogh? LOL, that's purely coincidence, I can assure you! Sure, submit it to the club.

Metropolis--I'd say it took me somewhere around 3 hours to do it, give or take 1. I wasn't looking at a clock!

 

[OfSinsAndShred]

Awesome! Love the lighting/color scheme. I agree that it looks like Van Gogh, which rocks pretty hard. The left eye does look a little big, but the facial experession is killer. Good work!

 

[Rose Immortal]

Thanks.

Oooh I love it so, you know I do!

I forgot to mention that I actually think it sort of looks like a van Gogh drawing.

I was actually going to mention that too. It has a very "old" look to it I guess. It's great though!

 

[Rose Immortal]

Thanks.

It's interesting...I didn't notice the old-fashioned look until people started pointing it out. But now I can! Somebody suggested on DA that it looked like a woodcut. Or, I can see now the resemblance to a 19th century book illustration. I think the fact that I didn't smooth it out gives it that look, instead of the digital smoothness people are used to these days.

Great Work Rose Immortal

 

[Rose Immortal]

Thanks, Androz.

Cool drawing! It does have an older look, which is cool. I enjoy drawing some famous faces I like as well. Isn't it cool when you complete a piece and you get a great result you didn't anticipate at first when you were creating?

 

[Rose Immortal]

Yeah, I'm not sure of the "great" part, but I do like the fact that I got something different.

Very very nice
