My Better Half

Meet my husband :) He's wonderful.

I was able to spend more time on this one... so, spending more time, I am a little more satisfied with my drawings, although I would really like to be able to have a "smoother" look.

I used Bristol board and a mix of charcoal and graphite pencils, cotton balls and paper stumps for blending and a kneaded eraser for highlights and other lighted details.

Reference used.
(Yes, I placed his collars down like they should be.. lol)

Thanks for looking.

Why do we always refer to our husbands as our better half...I make the same mistake, hehehe...This is excellent work, tell the better half of yourself you are good at portraits!!

Artist Reply: Thank you Wanda, for your words of encouragement. They do mean a great deal to me.
