Artist's Comments

project for drawing class.

completed after 2 weeks of class time.

we each got to choose our favorite celebrity to draw by selecting a photograph, griding it, then enlarging it. We needed to use one or a combination of techniques to shade in the final portrait: scumbling, hatching, cross-hatching, or stippling.

It is evident that I chose stippling... FOR THE WHOLE PIECE! Let me put into perspective how many DOTS are on this piece. If I had a dollar for every dot on this piece, I would have enough money to go to college on his nose ALONE! Notice theres a lot more dots in his hair so who knows how much money would come out of locks! lol

I've only done stippling once before in the parrot piece and a little in the pirate piece on (none other than) the parrot.

Wow, you did an excellent job with the stippling! No easy task, stippling. I doubt my own sanity would hold up under the weight of having to draw that many dots. A beautifully rendered piece.

Wow now this I like... and how like you to choose Depp :P I know how hard stippling is, so this is ridiculous! How on earth do you find the patience to do such a piece? Pretty damn nice.

i was pretty close to losing my patience at the end. as i looked at the final product, i finally lost my patience. i know, completely wrong time to do it but thats when it hit me.
