** [EDIT] I've replaced the unfinished version with the finished one. Basically, all I did was add more detail (ie. the hairs on the backs of the hands), mess around with the dark and light spots, and added more eye detail. Unfortunately, this looks 1000x better in real life, but I've done my best to keep it nice. The scanner seems to take away the smoothness. Also, I guess since graphite is so reflective, it also showed pencil marks in some places WHICH MAKES ME MAD!! But you get the idea. **

I found this photograph today and went insane over how cool it was. The lighting and contrast were amazing, and it was kind of creepy too, I couldn't resist.

Now, you should know that this drawing is currently unfinished. Yes, I know the backs of the hands suck right now, I was rushed. The reason I have it up before it's done is because I need to show it to someone, and I'm away from my computer for the next few days. I wanted them to see it ASAP, even if it is unfinished. So I don't need comments on how the backs of the hands suck, I know they do, it will be fixed and I'll upload the fixed version in a few days. Feel free to let me know your general overall impression though, I'm always up for comments...just don't say anything about my lack of detail in places...I KNOW!!
