OT..WIP of my latest drawing

I predict his flight-suit will take you about 3 entire pencils.

Looks incredible.

Put an old photograph next to it and you can't tell which one is which.

Thanks folks, I used an a4 size photo from a book and scaled it up without any gridding etc {final size is about 30" x 25" approx}, just by eye.
Blending stumps and torllions are the tools of the trade for me

...with the card its harder to get a smooth blend, but the surface doesn't wear or smudge as easy and it leaves a more realistic look once completed .

a bit more work done , hands are complete, as is the silk scarf, now onto the other side of the body and then finalise with strengthing of tones and a tidy up of the surround...

Glad to see drawing in pencil has not become a lost art, as for the picture well done.

MY GOD! That is truly an amazing drawing! Sir, you are a true master! Have you thought of doing subart?

Wow, simply amazing. I saw the pic that I believe you are using as your model on Google, and it looks EXACTLY the same! WOW.
