Description Wow..this drawing took me like a week to complete and I can honestly say I've never taken so much time to complete a drawing...Usually I do it in one sitting, but there was just so much to it! (That and the fact that I was drawing at work and only had about 45 minutes every day during my lunch break to do so)

Anyway, I can honestly say this is my best drawing so far...(isn't that what I always post? haha) And I think I also say something like, "wow my scanner sucks-this looks so much better in person".......this would be no difference. Ha!

Anyway, I think collectively it took me 12-13 hours to complete? Darren took about 7-8 hours himself.

Tools: Staedtler drawing pencils on Strathmore Bristol Vellum

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GIVE ME SOME FEEDBACK!!! I love reading your comments. As much as I love the favs and adds, it's the comments I love getting the most

Well thanks so much! It's definitely where I feel most comfortable. Now if only I could find some HQ images of the latest Darren Criss GQ shoot, I could start on my next piece!!

i really like it two things though, kurts head looks a little over sized and his facial features arnt gellling for me for some reason.

apart from that love it (also kurt makes me think of the new doctor who for some reason)

Really? I actually thought Kurt came out better than Blaine...his eyes look so much more realistic. Also....that's the size of his head haha...Thank you for the critique though! Also, I don't watch Dr. Who (though it seems that's all anyone can talk about lately) so I will just have to take your word for it! haha.

balines overall facial structure is the best out of the two i would say although i would say that kurts eyes are the better of the two and not a problem, glee seems to be one of my main obsessions at the moment and its nice to see people doing work with the characters, especially such fantastic characters as blaine and kurt, i find them very easy to relate to

wow.... when i clicked on the thumbnail, i thought it was just a black and white copy of the picture! Its amazing! I especially love Kurt's face - his smile is perfect and his eyes look alive! (and his bowtie too, squee!)

Just wondering how big is the real picture?

thank you so much! I've said before, drawing clothing is one of my least favorite things to do, yet somehow I always luck out and it still ends up looking like clothing haha.

This is really good, but the ukulele shown in glee was a Kamaka ukulele so you may want to alter it a bit to be more accurate....if you want. IT'S SUPER CUTE THO.
