Artist's Comments

I just completed this after about 4 or 5 hours... My mum is a huge Elvis fan, so I thought I'd draw this for her as a little gift.


HB and 4B pencils were used with tortillon. Quite pleased with the overall result. I hope she likes it!

RIP Elvis Presley

Very nice shading on the face. I may be wrong, but the nose to ear distane looks a little long, but other than that it looks very good proportionaly.

I would consider going back to fill in the the right lower corner all the way, it would not be that much effort, but it would give the drawing a much more finished feel to it.

It is totally totally beautiful, excellent work !!!! I always thought he was the most stunning male back in the "day". You brought out all his sexiness in your drawing. Awesome work :)

Hiya.. the ear looks about right, I think. Take a look at the reference pic :) And also, I took your advice and coloured in the corner :) Thanks for your comments.
