Rick GRIMES, ladies and gentlemen! [ Walking Dead fans unite!]

I guess it is natural that I am a huge THE WALKING DEAD fan. Zombies, cool story, amazing characters, what's not to like? (hmm, don't get me started :D)

So to use a character as model for a sketch is just my kind of fun! Who else but Rick Grimes for the first one?!

First attempt

It's OK but not quite there, isn't it?

So I got to work and tried to catch the man, the legend, the grimes....

Sketch Study

You can almost see him escaping the page! After this, I knew I had it!

Final illustration

HAUNTED but TOUGH! Perfect :)

So that's how I go about doing an illustration. It takes time and countless attempts but with dilligence I usually get there.
Which one do you like best?
Who do you want to see next? Suggest someone cool and if I chose it there's a 5sbd muse-fee for you!

See you in the comments,
Mihai.
