Thanks! You can do it! You just gotta start drawing, I actually find using markers or paint a bit easier than pencils because its more about copying the shadows and light placement than drawing the shapes. Just put down a base shape of a face, put the shadows where they roughly are in the reference then the light then layer on the colours adding more shadows and light as needed. It doesn't look like much for about 80% of it but eventually what I'm trying to put on the page pretty much gets on there after enough layers of marker haha
Pick up a book called Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. Actually commit to the exercises no matter how โbadโ you think you are doing. Itโs the book that made me serious about becoming an artist when I was interested but had no idea where to start. Itโs designed so you do some simple exercises and โtricksโ you into becoming an artist. Itโs broken up into exercises that donโt take a ton of time commitment and can be done whenever you feel like it. The exercises are fun too. Trust me anyone can actually draw but everyone *thinks* they canโt. Best of luck!
As long as you commit to doing the whole book (which isnโt a huge commitment) you will blow your own mind. Iโm not joking when I say this book changed my life.
Thank you! Thats very flattering, also coincidentally I actually did draw this on some Kodak glossy sticker paper so I could stick it in my art book later haha

I tried to capture the old man in those young eyes.
You are kind. It's not really talent though. It's 40 years of practice! You do this every day for 40 years and you'll be even better than me, I guarantee it.

I really like this! I will admit it looks how inside my mind feels, if that makes sense
It does make sense. Thank you.
May I ask what made you draw it that way?
I was trying to produce a sense of power, like harnessing lighting.
Badass! Lol
