I went over the timelimit atleast 15minutes… but I really had to! :smiley:

Man, it’s like I couldn’t hang with the time limit on any of those sketches…but well. It’s just a great exercise, so who really cares. But I try to keep it mind, I swear. No idea… at 40min I was kinda done and thought, oh, got plenty of time to noodle a bit… BOOM 52min. :shrug:

This time I was digging on the web for what’s meant by it. I remembered the Eddy Murphy flick, but thought it’s kinda boring. But this holy man somehow spoke to me. It was weird to paint a portrait of him, I was apologizing a lot, but also felt like I got to know a side of him he wouldn’t normally advertise. I don’t know what I’m talking about… :rolleyes:

Oh, a link to the picture:

Hi to all!

This is my first sketch challenge. Evil version. Hope you like it :slight_smile:

Oh man, that is beautiful! I get a bit of a “The Cell” feeling from it. Just gorgeous! I love the way it pulls together in precision and tightness toward the center but also just within the light without ever losing consistency. So very easy on the eyes. :thumbsup: …excellence!

@ TheTaron

Thank you so much! Aesthetics of The Cell (& The Fall as well) was somewhere in the back of my head - well spotted!
