wow its really good, all those shadows and lighting make for a great portrait!! looks as if were a picture of the statue itself.!!!

Thanks everyone, at least a few people like it! However personally I think this is a much better drawing that what is shown here in people who think it is as well. Sadly people sometimes treat celebrities like Gods.

Spectacular, Ozzy! I was looking through the colored pencil drawings tonight, when I discovered this. It stood out from the rest. I wish I had your drawing skills when I was in my twenties. For that manner, I would be happy to have them now. You have a fine grasp of light and shadow. I like the way you have so carefully graduated your strokes. It certainly looks like marble, and not pencils on paper.

Thanks Jojemo, means a lot! Sadly this portrait does not get much attention on a site like this, but I love it. Thanks for the complements, I like your work as well especially the Sade drawing. Love the color, and clearly I like color as well even though it is much easier to blend black and grays haha Thanks again!

You are very welcome, Ozzy. I meant every word that I said. I do not think many people appreciate the "classics," nowadays, as much as folks used to, be it in art or in music. In my opinion, your drawing merits more attention than it is getting. Joyce
