I love Kate as an actress-you managed to infuse a lot of heart into this superreal pencil portrait-the breath of a true artist! Amazing work-thrilling to be in such company!
James!! I just found this portfolio!! WOW! That is truely the best photorelistic pencil work I've ever seen! Welcome to AW - Show us more and stay awhile!!!
James, I loved this drawing @ AP and I love it here as well...This goes far beyond a B/W photo, It has so much more warmth than a photograph has to offer..I absolutely LOVE graphite drawings..especially TOP SHELF work like this!!!
Artist Reply: Hey Pat, Thank you! I am a big fan of your work and I am glad that you like mine too.
Scary really... Not sure if I am inspired or deflated! I watched the video hoping to see a grid being used but it's all done from sight from photo to paper. I love it that there are artists like this in the world.
