Description "That last hand...nearly killed me."

This has taken FOREVER! I've never had a drawing that I got so annoyed at, and was so glad to have finished. But once I actually figured out how to make things look out of focus, it went much more smoothly

There are still parts that I'm not happy with, and things that I will change at some point I'm sure, but I am reasonable happy with the result

I'm waiting for a friend of mine to move in so that I can steal his camera and take better pictures lol.

Let me know what you think! Any tips are always welcome

Technical Stuff
Paper: Bristol Smooth 9x11.5 inch (slightly cropped A4)
Tools: 0.5mm B and 2B mech pencils, mech eraser, ruler, blending stump and lots of tissues...for blending, and weeping
Time: Around 35 hours...

Focus would be even more difficult with paint I imagine! You should definitely try it, and show me how you go

Thanks very much! it was tough..but basically drew everything from his watch to the gun with no defined edges, then blended them with the background was my first go at out of focus, so thank you! Thanks for the watch as well

It's absolutely beautiful! The gun out of focus and her suit is so amazing. And also the touch of the blue eyes... loved it.

(I don't like too much this guy too, for me Sean Connery is the best James Bond ever... But the photo reference is really cool )
