Description Alain Delon in a room...

this was hard, i have not captured his expression, quite thoughtful. In my drawing he looks angry. The perspective of his body is a failure, on the picture, his arms are near the camera, thus his hands are bigger. Here, they are too small and his left arm (on the right) is too short. His eyes are a bit small.

To worsen things, my scanner screwed it, and my editing on Acdsee did not really improve the result.

I'm totally unsatisfied, but now it's done and i can't do anything to it... Usually i want to tear my drawings during the process (about 50 times per drawing), and burn them when they are done, just before throwing the ashes in the garbage bin. But i'm a coward, and upload them.

A4 textured paper, mostly HB pencils... between 6 and 10 hours.

yeah, perfectionism is such a cruel thing and you're totally under its control, I guess...
but i quite agree with Joyce that this is still a great work, indeed!

I don't know why you have such a low opinion of yourself, nor for that matter, on this drawing. Your drawing testifies to your pencil skills. Maybe everything didn't come out quite as you had hoped it would, but it is still a fine piece of artwork.

Thank you jo, yes i have poor self confidence in all i do... I'm biased, and need comments of the others to bring in the truth

I think many of us suffer from a lack of confidence, at times anyway. I know, I do. I think my work has improved quite a bit, since I began drawing celebrity portraits a little over four years ago. I'm five months into my fifth year now. I'm not saying it gets easier, because often it isn't. Sometimes I bite off more than I can chew, and whatever I am working on, does not turn out as I'd hoped it would. But when that happens, I should have learned something, so that I can do better next time. Regards, Joyce BTW, is "Selim" your name? If not, what may I call you?

Yep... And yes, it's my name, or going reverse... miles,

"I bite off more than I can chew" Nice one

In france, we often use this one "J'ai eu les yeux plus gros que le ventre"
