Nice shading and detail. You are really good showing the right amount of folds in his clohtes. I really like the exspression on his face. To me its like an angry old person ^_^ I also like the way you drew his sword. Nicely done. ^_^

Poor guy. He doesn't look like he's eaten in awhile.

The shading was very good, and his facial features were very intriguing.

The only suggestion I can make is about his right hand. The rest of the picture has wrinkles and creases, so his hand just looks sort of blank. Because he looks like an older man, I would add a few wrinkles to his right hand. This will also add dimension to his hand.

Other than that, It was really, really good.

I hope to see more of your drawings!

wow!!! that was amazing! it must have took forever
you must have been really patient drawing it.
I love the expression in the eyes and his high cheekbones, he looks kinda like the spooks apprentice book cover, look it up on the internet and you will see, unless you have already! nice work

I love the drawing. I am partial to black and white pencil and charcoal drawings. I can not draw people very well. You did the right amont of shading in my opinion. Nothing looked to flat either. I liked the sword and the cloak. It made my eyes follow after it. Great job and I hope to see more.

Wow.

That's really good! The expression is the icing on the cake.

I do have to agree with Sea on the his right hand though... add some wrinkles. It looks out of place compared to the detail of the rest of the drawing.

It's so alive. Could've sworn he was about to pop out of my computer and fight me...

That's one great drawing. It's full of mysticism and such. Really professional. I could see it actually being used. The folds in the clothing and his expression are great as well. You know what would be cool? If you drew stuff like this for chapters in your stories.

Very cool wizard. Has great intensity in his face and in the shading. For once, I don't need to say "add more tone!" Thank You! I like the folds in his cloak and the lines on his face and the very imposing hilt of his sword. Excellent work. Now go and draw him a background.

I know, but I get hung up after the second or third picture. In the eventual future, I plan to learn to paint and then I will have more to work with. I did draw up a character for another piece of work, but he lacks the same ‘feel’ of my unattached drawings. If I ever got anywhere with it, I’ll let you know. I think I feel a Gryphon stirring in my fingertips.

Thanks to everyone for the reviews and comments. It’s what keeps the artist going.

Oh wow, it's really, really good. I love the shading that you've done... it's so subtle but it definitely brings the picture to life and makes it 3-dimensional.

I love shading; but it takes so long!

Thanks for the comments everyone:)

Oh, wow.
AMAZINg drawing.

The shading is BRILLIANT.
I think the only problem with it is maybe the face and right hand. With all of the brilliant shading and creases in the clothes, the face and right hand seem a bit bare. A touch more wrinkles on the face and SOMETHING on the hand would make the drawing be about perfect.

My favorite is the cloak.
Even though its, like, the only thing you can see...
I'm jealous. I'm working really hard on my drawings and they're not nearly as good as these.

Kudos to you.
