Ian McKellen; 'A Pencil Portrait'

in WORLD OF XPILAR4 years ago

I've been told that my drawings are captured wrongly, and that I should make them more visible to viewing eyes. And with that in mind, I decided to make a portrait of "Ian McKellen".

His contribution to the entertainment industry is very much unparalleled, one of those pioneering veterans. I think by far my favourite of his TV appearances is his role as "Gandalf the Grey" in "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings". However, his villain role as "Magnetto" in the Marvel Studio X-Men franchise is very epic and quite frankly, I don't think anyone else could play that role the way he did. He and Patrick Stewart were like bread and butter, a good pair.
I would be ever greatful if you could leave a comment, thanks in advance

awesome picture, it’s fun to see the progress

Thanks...

Beautiful portrait and of course very easy to recognize, my favourite actor. Nicely worked on wrinkles, that is the most challenging. One should be careful not to overdo with that :)
