This came up on random image and caught my eyes right away... only to find out that it is The Armando's portrait... wow.. you did a great great job, Bobba..:-))
Terrific portrait and technique. Yes, this is TRULY my father. He's really in awe because of this awesome tribute. Hmmm... he's in a good mood... perhaps it's the suitable time to change my car :-)))
Expressive and splendid portrait of an AMAZING cartoonist a wonderful ROMANTIC person....Dearest Armando.MARVELOUS Pencil's work,Bobba...Great textures around him..AWESOME TRIBUTE.
Wowwowwoww.... Bobba! OMG! You touched my heart!!! WHAT A SUPRISE!!! Thank you very much! This image of myself with the rose has a VERY SPECIAL MEANING for me; very, very special! I am almost crying... Stunning portrait you did! I adore it absolutely. I always liked the pencil works, perhaps because I did a long training... More than 50 years drawing something WITH PENCIL every day. Ofiginal composition... What can I say? You can say I'm a pretentious guy... but this is your BEST WORK SO FAR!. Thank you again, dear Bobba. A kiss for the new boy in the family:-)))
Artist Reply: Your comments are just so encouraging, makes me want to dig into art much more. Maybe some others are like me.we want people to see what we see -- invite them into our mind and emotions for few seconds or so. My first love in art was a pencil and still is in spite of miraculous software, etc., the old 2B is still my favorite art tool
Fabulous tribute to our dear Armando!!! Enchanting Bobba!!!
Artist Reply: You know what? I think your "Genius" kind of pushed me to do this portrait (by the by, that was a great portrait of yours). the only thing is...
IT ISN'T ARMANDO!! (just kiddin')
