Sketchin’ 6

Shortly after finishing up the Robert Conrad picture, I took on another iconic movie image.  In this case, Steve McQueen from the movie Bullitt

Art is a funny thing.  The Robert Conrad picture (you can see it here) I thought was a total knockout.  A complete success.

This one?

Not so much.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think its a terrible picture, but I’m not feeling Steve McQueen’s face here.  On the other hand, I really like certain parts of the picture, like the hand, body, and hair.  but something isn’t quite working on the face itself.  Perhaps its the eyes or maybe the lips.

The good thing about doing art is that once you finish a piece, you can go on to the next one and hope for better.

Come to think about it, that’s life, isn’t it?

You always try for the best but sometimes things don’t work out as well as you want.

Brush yourself off and go on to the next job/work.

With practice things will get better.
