Wow. Always impressed with people who can shade. I LOVE his cheekbones here.

I have never used photoshop for anything other than to adjust, etc., photos. I am curious how you did this. Did you start with a photo or do the drawing freehand? Did you use, for example, the line, paint and smudge tools or is there some other method I am not aware of? Thanks.

Nice work... like the eye color best, how it contrasts with the rest.

Thank you so much for commenting!

I drew this freehand whil I looked at the picture, I began sketching the picture first, then I started with the lightest color first working my way up to the darkest colors ll the while using the smuge tool. Thats about all I did really.

Thank you for clarifying? Can you answer one more question... are you using a mouse to do this? I can draw, but not with a mouse!
