Artist's Comments

The Dalai Lama, a wise (and funny) man (really, have you ever seen him acting in TV or somewhere?he seems like to have a nice sympathic sense of humour =) ) i really feel respect for him.

it's a small piece in reality, just 14 x11 cm, but i can work better in small dimensions. made with HB,H and a 2B pencil.











"in the western world there are people who have everything, but now see that money isn't the only thing who makes you happy and that you can't reach satisfaction with it. Sometimes you confound luck with amusement, but real luck refers to the spirit and the heart."

This is probably the best piece in your gallery, very nicely done.
Although, - you can call me annoying again if you wish - some clearer dark marks would have made it even better (maybe using an even softer pencil,8b and such)
The shadsing on the hand is great, although you didn't keep that perfectionism till the end.

Beautiful, touching piece. Excellent job on his hands and glasses! I know what you mean about working small-most of my work in on the small side too, no large pieces for me :) And if I may second TranquilBoy's suggestion, a little softer lead (6b or 8b) would definitely make the contrast sharper and make all your wonderful detail really pop. Nice work! :clap:

I know what you mean about using the different ones. It's taken me a while to get past just using my trusty 2B! :laughing:

P.S. I wasn't supposed to feel devious... that was supposed to be "longing"... but whatever... *glares at the v5*

What awesome shading. The back of his hand is wonderful, really realistic. Such an interesting subject as well. He's so cool :D
