Hannibal Lechter

[Yuri]

Just did this, took me an hour. Now that I look at it objectively, I can see quite a few problems with the proportions of the face and some coloring problems. I could have worked on it a bit more and made it look better, but I think I'm gonna just try something else for now.

Done with pastel on paper. I used a photo for reference-- specifically the movie poster for Hannibal. My digital camera made it a bit too light, so I darkened it in photoshop.

God I love pastels. Hope you like it

as said before, I like it

(the eye bulges out kinda creepily though )

 

[Yuri]

Thanks Yeah, the eye is a little weird, and the nose is a little pointy. Oh well

 

[Jimmeh]

Hey the bulgy eye makes it look more creepy!

Good work I can't use anything other than pencils/ink

 

[Druckles]

Nice, but doesn't look evil enough for a guy prepared to eat your brains

I love it...Its one of those pictures, where the lighting is so good that if you blur your eyes it almost seems to jump out of the page/screen.

 

[Yuri]

Thanks a lot!

Lemme tell you, though, it looks much, much better in person, at a distance. Like most pastel paintings, it always looks better far away because its really hard to get tiny details in.

 

[Jimmeh]

I know what you mean about details, the thing with me is I'll spend ages with pastels getting details in, then I'll smudge them all away by accident

 

[G-Dub]

wow... just wow; i've never ventured into the art and design forums and i just can't believe the amount of talent out there...

:thumbs:

Yarr, I know what you mean. I did that with one of my pastel paintings, and then I used that spray stuff on it. Wasted like, a billion hours. Or something. It's why you have to work REALLY BIG when you use these things. Sucks that art is so expensive

Anyways, thanks for all your comments, guys, I really appreciate it! A simple compliment goes a long way. Maybe I'll draw a bunch more and post a buncha stuff.

you better

Hehe, figured. Sorry for the mistake, but I beleive the millions of "Hello, Clarice's" that go around every day make up for it. (It's actually "Good evening, Clarice")

 

[DoctorWeeTodd]

Maybe you can crack some walnuts to get that taste out of your mouth.
