Hmm, I just realized that the file shows up too large at 100%, but have no editing software to make it smaller. You'll have to attempt to view it like this..lol

Sorry!

well the painfully large size aside, this is a very well done portrait.
I'm looking forward to see more [hopefully resized somehow] portraits from you soon :D

If you upload onto an image hosting service like Picasa (http://picasaweb.google.com/home) or Photobucket, you can do it online. (I think Picasa actually auto-resizes).

Finally figured out how to make the image smaller. Here's hoping you can see it better.

Neat web page layout :D Very good pen skills you have... by what terms are you not a pro? :p Do you do colored work? Maybe color portrait next? :)

Thanks homie. I am also teaching myself how to oil paint. Do a fair amount of small oil landscape studies from life.

How about some 15 minute ink studies instead?

Wow love those oil studies, very well formed for only 15 minutes. The pencil piece is super also, I love the beard and headphones too :)

Those last ones were in ink with an ink wash.

Here's one I did for the Gage Self Portrait contest. 18x24, charcoal on vellum.
