Artist's Comments

One of my biggest obsessions - Alexander the Great.:)
Suddenly I felt that I have to draw him, but I didn't want to make any big project. You know, I don't draw Alexander often, because I'm afraid my drawing would be terrible (the same thing is with my own characters _-_). So I decided to make a sketch of his profile. It's the most characteristic thing of all Alexander's busts.
Of course the simple sketch turned out to be a fully-shaded work, lol.

Comparing to my last bust of Alexandros, I'm really proud of this one, because he at least looks like himself.:P But I hate the eye - it's not *his* eye. The mouth also looks strange. But nevermind.

Time spent: Three hours, I think.
Tools used: Mechanical pencil 0.35B and normal pencil 2B.

Be brave. Even if you're not, pretend to be. No one will see the difference

~nice~
:heart:

I'm always afraid of drawing characters from books I really like (I don't want to draw them ugly). So... I quess I can somehow understand what you were feeling when drawing this. ':]
