...Could apply to any portrait drawing, actually... ^^;

Well, I know it's weird and maybe this could make me look conceited, but I made this thing because he's AWFULLY difficult to draw and I'm sort of an expert in Reidology now. Counting also my failed attempts, I drew him more than 30 times.
And it was rather instructive. :XD:

**Sorry for the typing mistakes, too late to correct them XD
***Suddenly, I feel the need to stress one point: TAKE MEASUREMENTS while drawing the first construction lines. That's the most important thing you do while drawing portraits, unless you have a really trained eye.

This is so helpful!
I always wanted to draw him, but I had a big problem with that, but with your tutorial I think I'll finally make it.
I also want to say that I'm very impressed with your drawing skills, you are just great.

(...And your "crappy explanation" are easier to understand for people whose native language isn't english :> )
Thank you very much!

Very good, you really got his likeness. May I ask why that's the ONLY drawing in your gallery? :D

Thank you :D

I don't have other works because they are old, and I don't think they're good enough. I have account for 4 years, so I had some my works which I draw when I was 12 (O_O), and they were horrible. Really. But now I'm sure I'll add something soon :D

That's SO nice! *_____________*
I can't stop looking at your portraits!!
I'm trying to draw him and, yeah, it's really hard!
Can I show it to you when it's finished? xD

I hope you can understand my poor English. I'm brazilian and my Italian is even worse. ^^
Bye!
