"BASEBALL PLAYER - (FINISHED)"

Finished in time for Christmas! Ofcourse now I'm phychotic from lack of REM sleep...

Size: 11" x 14"
Time: Approximately 25 hours

I would have liked to "tweek" it some more, but the clock was ticking...

I'd love to hear your critique!

Nothing to critique here, Brian. This is an amazing drawing. Whoever is getting it will be blown away. I really would like to see more of your work!

This is excellent Brian!
I am impressed. Wow 25 hours. You must have been flying. The only thing I noticed is his mouth looks a little odd. I would imagine he has a wad of chew, so that could be what I'm seeing. If it's not too late, you might try darkening the outside corner of his lower lip just a tad. There seems to be a little bit of a hard outline there so I think it could be softened there a bit. It could also be the way that jpgs bump up the contrast so I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Fantastic job on the drapery.

I'm looking forward to your next one.
J. D.

That is an awesome shirt and cap, there is something about his mouth, but it's a great drawing, you can really see him out there sweating in the sun.

Excellent work here Brian.

The only question I have is... Who the heck is the "Blaise" person who signed your work? At least that is what I see in the signature.

Thank you for the comments!
This is a drawing of Todd Helton who plays for the Colorado Rockies. He always has chewing tobacco in his mouth which makes the bottom of his mouth bulge out. It's definately one area of the drawing I was careful with. If I had to error, I would rather underwork it than overwork it.
Due to the upcoming holiday, I really did have to fly through this one, which I'm VERY uncomfortable doing. 99 out of 100 times I rush or try a shortcut, I end up erasing a lot.
Oh, and Bob, I signed the piece. My name is Brian Blaise.

One again, thank you very much!

This is a fantastic drawing! The mouth looks fine to me. I can't see anything wrong with it, maybe because I've seen guys with a wad of tobacco with that same kind of facial expression before.

Oh, and Bob, I signed the piece. My name is Brian Blaise.

What a coincidence. Here I thought I spotted a flaw in the work.

Again, Brian Blaise, very nice work. As I noted before, I really think you did an excellent job on the textures and I also like the fact that you have a nice range of values in your work.
