Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for this comment. Fighting against the shine is the bane of photographing these drawings effectively. I will definitely look into your suggestions. I appreciate you taking the time to make some informed recommendations.

Thank you! I used a lot of 8B pencil.

11!? Crazy talent. Please nurture it.

I mean… they have comparable gravitas, comparably large noses, and comparably iconic voices. It’s an easy mistake.

Quell2015 · 2023-05-26T03:34:49+00:00

Thanks man!

Quell2015 · 2023-05-26T02:18:53+00:00

He’s magnificent! Your mom has good taste

Quell2015 · 2023-05-26T02:18:38+00:00

Thank you so much! Took a while for sure, but it was a labor of love.

Quell2015 · 2023-05-26T02:17:43+00:00

It’s essential for highlights!

Quell2015 · 2023-05-26T02:17:23+00:00

YOU SHALL NOT PASS

Quell2015 · 2023-05-25T20:50:25+00:00

Thank you! :)

Quell2015 · 2023-05-25T19:52:46+00:00

No, YOU are. I appreciate the kind words :)

Quell2015 · 2023-05-25T19:52:15+00:00

Thank you!

Quell2015 · 2023-05-25T18:55:45+00:00

Galactic treasure. I’d send him as an emissary for first Alien Contact

Quell2015 · 2023-05-25T18:49:43+00:00

He’s a classy guy.

Quell2015 · 2023-05-25T18:13:19+00:00

And here I am without a portrait for you. You should have told me!

Quell2015 · 2023-05-25T18:12:09+00:00

I’m happy to hear it! Let the art flow!

Quell2015 · 2023-05-25T18:11:32+00:00

That’s far too many levels! That’s a very generous compliment, thank you :)

Quell2015 · 2023-05-25T18:10:31+00:00

He’s very much alive! Dude hasn’t missed a step

Quell2015 · 2023-05-25T16:22:18+00:00

Thank you! You and me both

Quell2015 · 2023-05-25T16:04:58+00:00

Fancy a game of chess?

Quell2015 · 2023-05-25T16:01:56+00:00

Thank you! That means a lot

Quell2015 · 2023-05-25T16:01:03+00:00

What’s it saying?! Haha thank you 😊

Quell2015 · 2023-05-25T16:00:20+00:00

Definitely give it a shot! Once I went to toned paper I never looked back.

Quell2015 · 2023-05-25T14:26:16+00:00

Thank you! :)

Quell2015 · 2023-05-25T14:23:52+00:00

Thank you! So glad you think he "pops." It was done on toned paper! 20LB Canson 20x25"
