Michael Emerson (best know for play Ben Linus in LOST) is now playing opposite Jim Caviezel as Harold Finch in my NEW FAV show "Person of Interest" ~ It's a BRILLIANT SHOW!!

The "feel" of this drawing was a little different to me. It's a tad edgy and rough, and not as "in focus" as some of my others, due in part to the reference photo, since I trained myself to "draw what I see"

His hoodie took me longer to draw than his face! I'm happy with the texture, which I did by first laying a base with B & 2B.
Then some light "spot blending", followed by using a SOFT 5B (I roughened the surface with sandpaper) & used an Overhand Grip.
I then "point shaped" a kneaded eraser and "Blue Tac" to highlight

I found a photo of Ryan Gosling and George Clooney combined. Ryan is holding a folded TIME magazine over 1/2 of his face with Clooney on the other side. I have not seen the movie yet, but want to.

I hope everyone had a good Christmas and New Year! I've been SO busy with moving, work etc that this is the first drawing I've down in almost 2 months. Now that we are settled, and winter is setting in, I hope to be drawing a lot more!
