Bill Murray pic.

I had to scale this down on a photocopier before scanning it. This unfortunately led to an increased contrast making pencil lines appear more visible than on the original and making white parts appear where there are none. I may resubmit if I can get a better scan.

Pencils on paper yadda yadda yadda.

my initial thought was: looks like that guy on tv, what's his name... bill murray! :) but older :) looks well done.

now that i look at it i see that there's a very good reflection on his left eye. otherwise it's good. what i find a little weird is the background which goes from white on the right to black on the left (or the other way around i don remember)

but a good drawing nonetheless.

i kinda like it that way, it increase the contrast, beautiful tones

Thanks, though I have to say, the guy is pretty old now you know. :)

Thanks That was the idea. Not quite identical to the source but just makes it pop a bit more.

yeah, that's true but i dunno the lines on his face make him look really old here :)

but very good work, i'm proud of you :)

It totally looks like Bill Murray, but somehow he looks about 81 years old....

i agree, he does look a lot older, but i think maybe it's just because it's greyscale or something.
it's VERY good, regardless :D

Cheers. I will try to get a better scan soon and repost. I'm pretty sure he looks no older than in real life.
