Now for something completely different...

I needed a break from trying to figure out what to do with the Rick Schriever WIP, but I still wanted to do something along the lines of a *gasp* portrait. I started doodling from a couple small photos of Kiefer Sutherland's character from 24 (yes, I'm obsessed with the show. I admit it!) and got frustrated. So I finally pulled down a decent reference and actually made a real attempt at a finished drawing.

Done in graphite, mostly with a mechanical pencil though I used a graphite stick and regular drawing pencils on the darkest areas and the background. I used this photo [ [link] ] as a reference. I'm guessing it was a publicity photo at some point, looks like it's gone across multiple sites, so I'm not exactly sure who the rightful owner is. Approx. 25-30 hours of work spread across a week and a half. 10" x 11" on hotpress sketch paper. I can see errors in it, especially at a distance, but overall I'm pleased with it.

Character and reference image are (c) their respective owners.

This is a gorgeous drawing. The details and shadows are fantastic, and likeness to Kiefer Sutherland is just spot on! :)
