insights on knowledge


ok, one little secret about me- I have no patience. I go off to a good start on all my sketches. I think that is why the eyes always turn out right!! Impatience leads to the bad art on the background..
Otherwise a fairly satisfactory sketch in terms of the fact that the person whose visage this is, is fine with it. Didnt do much damage to his original looks.
I think that is what most people dont want a to see on a portrait of themselves is a total misinterpretation of the "good looks".
One more tiny fact is that this was totally done with charcoal and my apartment carpet was fairly black at the end of it!!
Oh by the way if you didnt get the title... my friend's name is gyan (spelt gnan) . I would rather if he give me a ratin gon a scale of 5 !! Check out the comments in due time.

That's a good looking fellow you've sketched here. I'm sure once your friend sees this, he will be quite happy.
He seems to be familiar, is it some I know?
(I used to think I had a rare, if not unique, name)
