Artist's Comments

He's my first celeb big crush along with Tom Cruise and the one who inspired me to draw a real people for the first time. :flirty: When I thought I'd upload my first drawing for everyone to see (and laugh at) I decided to draw him once again hoping this time I'd do him justice.:phew:

I started this drawing a while ago but kept putting it aside for some reason. I wanted this drawing to look more realistic than what I normally did so I added a little hint of skin texture (wasn't ready to do a full on skin texture just yet^^;).

Pencil on A4

BTW, I decided to use this drawing for a hair tutorial.:dance: :dance: -->[link]

Ooh, a hair tutorial would be kinda nifty, considering that is some awesome hair. :) The detail is really great, especially the little creases around his eyes, which themselves look so fluid.

I'm glad he inspired you, so you could share your lovely realism and other art with the rest of the world. =P

I love how you did the skin :aww: And I'm looking forward to seeing the hair tutorial. My first thought as I saw this picture was: wow, the hair looks great! :D

Holy Jesus, incredible. Hair is unbelivable. Amazing, amazing realism you've depicted. Extremely strong values and tones. WOWZER. What a progression from your 93 Bon Jovi pic!

I don't listen his music bet he turned out fantastic!!
Skin texture is amazing.Can't wait for the tutorial because I really need to learn how to draw hair like that.Or maybe I already know how to draw it but I'm just too lazy to draw it so detailed and contrasted :)

If I don't speak English good enough for you, let's just talk in Croatian, I promise I won't even do one mistake :D
