nice
what is the shadow hiding?
if I put shadows in my art it is because they are flawed in some way.
it's nice, but it could be nicer, keep up the good work!

Well, there is a story behind this and that story is: I told the girl that sits behind me in english I need to test my skills, can you call something out for me something to draw?" And she handed me a picture and said "oh,oh can you draw this?"
"You carry around pictures of guys?" I asked,
"Only Gabriel, he's to die for..."
"Anything worth dying for is worth drawing." I thought...
And so here it is, about 3-4 hours of work on a very nice pencil copy of Andy.
P:S: I didn't figure out It was also SPARTACUS until i was done.

Its because of the picture, was too dark for detail, so I said, Awww screw it, it's going all black!.
dang
i wish i could draw people this good!
but i also agree with the shading but other than tht pretty good flippin job!

Still have problems with symmetry, hoping to do something with both sides next time.
nice but way too liberal with the smudge paper :D
I used to have the same problem when I was in art, I would use dark pencil and the smudge paper far too often to try and soften things. It wasn't till later that I started using light pencils to start and gradually shading darker. The piece looks more polished if you start light. :)
Really nice effort though, you caught the intelligence of the eyes exceptionally well. :)

True, but when one sides all black its a bitch not to smudge it lol.
I'm still in the stage of using the lighter pencil to set up lines and shade points.
I'm not trying to become a master of drawing, only good enough to put down accurate paint lines. still, I thank you for your review, i will try your pencil trick next time.
P.S. oh my god, I just realized I do go dark to light =o.
