This is an absolute perfect piece of graphite Art. It is like a photograph, the texture is so sharp! Everything is in proportion, the shading is excellant and attention to detail is second to none. I am in full admiration for what you achieve with just a pencil.

Comment from Shirley Fernandez


It's hard to take your eyes off of all the detail. Your talent deserves more than a 6******stars. For me you just want to see the more, of the picture. lol
I love most of his characters. Have you seen Starman, that is my favorite.

Wow! Such a realistic sketch of Rooster Cogburn. Your facial features are excellent bringing your character to life. Good differentiation and contrast and blending and shading with graphite with outstanding details. Good facial and body proportions. Your play with light and shadows creates depth and interest in your work. A creative and talented art work. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing.

Linda, this is fabulous! What a talent you are. At first glance I thought this was a black and white photo. Your realism is incredible. I love the shading and I can almost feel the soft suede of the hat.

I looked at your drawing through my photographers eyes and believe you have captured the essence of his spirit. The contrast in your black and white is perfect from my perspective. Your composition also is great. A hearty well done!

Comment from alaskapat


This is a fantastic work of art, it's a wonderful likeness of Jeff Bridges as Rooster Cogburn, very impressive to view this one, you have amazing , realistic detail that makes this looks like a photograph! His hat, his face shape and structure, the eye patch , the facial features, skin tone and texture, facial hair, his pose with the gun, his clothing, it's perfect in every way! I showed this to my husband and all he could do was say " WOW" this belongs in a gallery ! You are so very talented! Thank you for sharing this with us!
