don't pass me by - ringo starrby ~beckhanson

Traditional Art / Drawings / Portraits & Figures

whew..... spent a lot of time on this one. i have no way of saying how many hours, i just kinda worked on it off and on daily for weeks. i could probably keep drawing it forever, trying to achieve every perfect detail. i just never know when to stop a drawing, usually when i'm just sick of staring at and worrying about it.

for the few out there who don't know who this is, it's ringo starr from the beatles. he was quite fun to draw, he has the longest nostrils i've ever seen! i got the ref photo for this from a 2006 beatles calendar i've already cut up so i can't really use it for its original purpose anymore. oh well, it has some great head shots of each of them. i plan on drawing the other 3 in the next couple months, but i think i want to draw a non-beatle next.

this was created with ebony, mechanical, and a little bit of charcoal pencils, tortillions, tissue paper, like 5 different kinds of erasers, and a ruler on bristol smooth board. i added a touch of sepia in some scanning program. overall i'm pretty pleased with how it turned out, i'll probably do little touch ups still.

ugh..my eyes hurt. gotta work in 2.5 hours, need to fit some sleep and a shower somewhere in there.

i'd really like to hear what ya think, feedback is fun. thanks so much for looking.

please full view

I was listening to the Beatles track Eleanor Rigby when a note came my way recommending don't pass me by - ringo starr by ~beckhanson. If that isn't a positive sign, I don't know what is. ( Suggested by ~csjwcr and Featured by `zeruch )
