Wonderful use of pencil shading. You can see the strain in his face. Very good. I can see you love drawing figures, hope to see more.

Very good drawing. The composition is great. The details and shading is outstanding. He definitely looks like he is agony. His hair is done very well. Excellent work.

Good capture of emotion...the shading again needs a little work...too grainy. The shadowing is a bit too deep but overall good work. Keep at it!

A very good work...I get pain and uneasy guilt from the face... The shading is great and the work from the forehead to the nose is outstanding. However I think the shape of the mouth sets it off...This is a very good work of art...Thanks...

thank you. yeah, it took a real long time to do the shading, but actually, this is the first work that i did the shading in that way. so it's good to know that it looks good =)

Comment from Goya
Well, he doesn't look suffering to me, he looks like a man who lives a good life, just tired a little.

As for the drawing itself- too many notes, it is overdone.

Thank you and take care :))

i changed my mind, yer an idiot. u don't even have any art yourself. ooo, look at me, i have 5 review stars! art is supposed to be detailed, meaning.....being overdone is a good thing, retard.

Comment from Papa
sinkay42, this poor guy really appears to be full of remorse and anguish. I do admire that people like yourself can create such impressive images with pencils. I have some nice pencils, but no talent. I find there is a great deal of enhancing detail in this drawing and it compares very favourably to other such works I have seen on this site. Congratulations.
Peace, Papa.

You may have cropped just his face but, in doing so, you have helped the viewer see his guilt so well. This is a very good drawing.
