Istanbul


2012
pencils

I used pencils, a brush for blending and a couple of erasers plus the original picture that was taken by my cousin's friend.

This piece took me about three months, because I just couldn't find the time to sit down and actually draw, and to be honest I was kind of frightened to start with the jacket which seemed really complicated! First I was very excited and I finished up with the face and the hair and then I didn't do anything with this piece for about two months. I realized it wasn't going to get done by itself and I decided to do my best to get it done. Once I start drawing I could just sit there for ten hours drawing. Time flies incredibly fast like that! It's so much fun and I really enjoy it.

This drawing was a gift for my cousin, and it was ment to be a surprise, but..I had told my brother, who knew I was drawing this, not to tell the cousin about this. Well, he didn't, but the cousin saw the sketch in my room and made my brother promise him not to tell me that he had seen this. Well, my brother told me because he had promised me first not to tell him. haha! Then when I finally gave the final work to him, he was pretending to be very surprised and I was like I didn't know that he knew. It was really funny, because almost everyone knew about it, but still we pretended like no one knew about it. He still doesn't know that I know that he had seen this before it was done! At least yet.. :D
