Silver Surfer

I have wanted to draw this for ages, but didn't feel that I had the required ability - not sure i do now either But I love the results either way.

The drawing is A3 and as you can see I had to use a lot of graphite to fill the page (White paper originally)!!! This drawing took longer than any other drawing (so far) I have completed, and took circa 20 hours from start to finish.

Tools;

A3 Bristol Board Smooth
Complete range of Pencils from 4H all the way through to 8B all traditional graphite pencils this time.
Tissue paper and blending stump
Sweet, Tears and perspiration

Hope you like it as much as I do - I also have a short animation showing the creation of 'Silver Surfer' and will upload it shortly.

Thanks for looking
