Happy Birthday beelikej!!
I've been really bad at acknowledging birthdays this year, but I couldn't let my lovely fellow spn_reversebang mod's birthday pass without a little thank you gift for all her hard work. Hope you have a wonderful day, J!
I also hope this is recognisable LOL

Pencil with some white highlights added in PS because I forgot to try masking fluid! :D

Thanks bunches!

oh wow, that is really nice! especially the eyes and the facial hair. some guys just wear the facial hair so well.

Aw thanks - yeah, I think JDM is one who actually looks better with scruff and/or a beard. And the sprinkling of grey enhances too. Damn him and his attractiveness!

i forgot to mention that the gray highlights are really good! he just gets better-looking as he gets older.

This is gorgeous! I always love pencil drawing <3

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I love doing them but they aren't always successful!

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

HUBBA HUBBA! (But srsly, I love your use of those flicks of white; really makes it all pop! Gorgeous drawn, lady!)

I need to work out how to get a white highlight that works over pencil - I tried one of those supposed precision erasers and a white gel pen and neither worked. Or of course, remember I want those highlights beforehand and use the damn marker fluid.

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I haven't had much luck with those punchy whites either. Do you spray your drawing well with fixative, BEFORE the white? That might help.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Mmm I can't remember now if I sprayed before... I could always try adding white again because I've definitely sprayed it now. You did make good use of masking fluid a little while ago though, didn't you.

It's weird. I've seen other people doing awesome drawings which are largely greyscale but for my own I want that high contrast. I've got double standards for my own work! LOL

I LOVE IT! That *look* in his eyes, those lashes (yes, that's the third time I mentioned them, because they are my faaaaaaaaaaavorite;) the hair that I want to run my fingers through, that bit of sideburn. Gah, AMB, thank you so much for this awesomest of gifts. *treasures*

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I can send you the drawing if you want it, by the way. Glad you like it!

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, that would be supercool!

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

WOW that is stunning!

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Aw thanks, petal!

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

I could happily spend all my pocket money on all of your art, lol!

[sillie]

Ooh, very nice! :D

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thanks, petal!

[madebyme-x.livejournal.com]

Well this is just delightful!!! I love the beard and those flecks of grey and the eyes are stunning :)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thank you! You are delightful too :D

Great Job its really really breath taking. I draw but unfortunately for me portraits and faces are not one I can do.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much! I'm getting a bit better at catching a likeness with more practice, I think.

Gorgeous, I love his sexy eyes and his hair is beautiful.

Happy belated birthday beelikej, hope it was a good one :)

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Thanks me dear!

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Thank you:) It was a great one! Not in the least because of all the JDM goodies, heehee. *scrolls up to stare into his eyes again*
