My hat's off to you for drawing Schwarzenegger accurately and awesomely- you really nailed that macho action hero charisma a lot of people saw on the silver screen during the '80s-'90s, from the sly smirk, to the huge muscles, the spiked-up short hair, and right down to the lit chomped cigar- kudos!
You caught the lights and shadows of skin tone very nicely, and I like how the outline of the shirt stands out from the rest of Arnold- the mix of colors work well against the color of the paper, too. I also like how you signed this piece.

His dude is a treasure. He's one person who I just find it fucking impossible to hate or dislike.

Wow, I'm so shocked and amazed at your work it makes me sad! Seriously your the best I've ever seen! Nice Job!

Thanks, but ... Sad? Well, life isn't fair - ya know? So, in saying that much -- I can be sad that I don't get the recognition in this world for my talents/skills and perserverance, ... And on this site that goes without saying, cuz I am not a famous artist doing work that everybody is into currently

Well do you sell your portraits? Me personally I wouldn't want to give someone something that took so much hard work and time but....anyways I hope you will be recognized so I can say "Oh yeah, I talked to Victor Powell before he was famous."

Haha, thanks,... Yes, of course I sell them, and have done over 1000 portraits to date (( all sold ))

Love your coloured pencil work. I am thinking od starting some work in coloured pencils
but not really sure what colours to start with. I am mainly interested in portraits so I would appreciate
any advice you might have. Many thanks

I love this so much. Such classic 80s-90s Ahhnold. You know, he's in the middle of publishing an autobiography, and he's looking for pictures for the back cover...I'd totally post this! So awesome.

nice work man , wish i could draw like that , how long did it take you to do
π: 0 β©: 1
Approximately 17 hours over a three day period (at night) in 1990 after a long day at work as a Medical illustrator,... So, factoring the time difference of 22years later and tons of experience - today it would take me exactly 11.3 hours
