Description This is a portrait of Brian Duey, or some of you know him as . He is one of my very first inspirations and motivators that got me into portraiture. I saw this picture on his website and thought it was very intense yet calming. I know it isn't very exact to the reference picture but I guess that gives it my touch...or whatever you call it. I adjusted it on Adobe and to be honest with you...the actual drawing up front looks alot better. Overall...I'm pretty happy with all of it.

Well...I hope you like it Brian.

Thank you for looking!

Thanks I edited it abit...scanning lightens it. So I darkened it. I also use a black pencil crayon sometimes.
