Givven that you categorized it as "traditional Art" I'll relate to it as such.
I think you have a talent for drawing, yet, you need to catch up on the technic and theory of this kind of drawing.

It will allow you more tools to work out things in more deep fashion, so your work will carry more masterfull weight.

Expecting to see more of your works :)

take care,
Goya

MaryMay, I just purchased the G. B. & U on DVD. You have his hair right, however in the movie his face is some what thinner, it somewhat looks like TUCO, but not enough for a five.

    Your exactly right! However I failed to mention that this particular piece was rendered from a G.B.U poster in which Tuco does appear to be heavier than his character in the film. Go figure...
Comment from Wolfdancer13


This was a nice sketch, exceptionally rendered. Everything appears to be balanced, nice shading, proportionment of the facial features, textures. This has great expression to add dramatic touches of artistry.

    Thank you very much! This particular work had to be my most challenging and it's reviews like yours that keep me motivated! Thanks again!
Comment from Papa


marymay, this is a very impressive drawing with so much fine detail. I think I probably saw the movie but don't remember it, but your man looks to me like one of the bad guys. Nevertheless, although his expression, which you have rendered so well, looks mean and "ugly", if he smiled, he would probably be handsome. I know very little about drawing, so can only add that this appears to me to be extremely well done. And, I congratulate you on your well developed skill.
Peace,
Papa

    Well thank you very much, Papa!! This is a portrait I had the most difficulty creating but absolutely LOVED the challenge! Thanks again!!
Comment from mp3004


Not good. His head needs to be fixed. It looks flat on the top. Your main problem is that there is not nearly enough change in value. You need darks and lights not just gray all over!! If you do that it will give it much more depth. Know it just looks flat and dull. I do like the expression on the face, but thats about it.

    Thank you for your review! As a self-taught amateur artist, I agree that my sketching skills need some fine tuning. A review such as yours will only encourage me to improve! Thanks again!

I never seen the film, so I don't know who Tuco was, but I imagine you captured his likeness here as this is very well done. Great detail and shadowing. Very real.
