Captain Jack Sparrow

Been working on this for about 3 months , its from a poster that came free with the Daily Mirror on the 16th May.
Its about 12 hrs work, and I have included some of the development below.
Its all pencil mainly 2b.
Still think I could add a little more to the body area and some more detail on the hair.
Please comment.

finished

Looking for comments please .....

Commission pastel painting (not finished)

My neighbour has asked me to do a painting of her friends child and this is it part completed.
I am hoping to add their second child in the bottom right quadrant.

Its the first real comission that I have been asked to do (did someones dog a while back) and so really nervous about getting a likeness.

Amir Khan

I did this some time ago but I have just asked Amir to have a look at this on his blog so have put it back up for him to find easily.

Hoping he likes it but we'll see.

Rottweiler

This dog wanders passed my house every so often taking its owner for a walk.

This isn't actually finished but wanted to put it up now and finish it later, see the difference and hopefully the improvement. ! That right eye obviously need sorting out
