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.
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.

 reports, 1d 3h agoThe project started as a mean to collect amazing artists all around deviant in a random way or as well for already personal recognition of the same, this is ONLY for the sake of art, no favoritism or popularity has anything to do with this, only REAL good art will enter in these articles, and the art exposed in here is what we personally consider the best of the best. 49 Twenty Under Forty -- vol. 13`kuschelirmel
 reports, 1d 12h agoTwenty Under Forty is a news article that features 20 deviations in each issue that have less than 40 faves at the time of writing the article. 37 It's all about Mimes!!!^Helewidis
 reports, 1d 6h agoAccording to wikipedia, a mime artist is someone who uses mime as a theatrical medium or as a performance art, involving the acting out a story through body motions, without use of speech. This is somewhat of a tribute and a gossip article. Read more for further understanding of why I'm saying this! |

In recognition as being one of the most successful artists in our deviantART community, we're delighted to award this month's Deviousness Award to `arcipello Read More
