Artist's Comments

I've not quite finished this and I'm not completely happy so I'm sure I'll retouch it a lot more.

It's Ralph Macchio's character Johnny Cade from 'The Outsiders', my fave film of all time. I drew it from a really blurred image which is my excuse for it not being quite right. Anyone who has seen the film and loves it will know that this is the most tragic and vunerable character from the brat pack era... so I wanted to sort of get that across.. I'm not feeling it yet.

Really wanna draw Cherry and Dallas too but they are way down my list of portraits for the time being...

Anyway hopfully I'll improve it and I've not made the lovely ralph look a complete retard so far! :D

Used the usual.. mainly HB, B and 5B, graphite stick and putty rubber.

This picture is already great, but if your up for a little suggestion then i would love to see the finished product with the scar that he's suppose to have on the left side of his face. :)

You know there's always, more than one way, to say exactly what you mean to say.
Was I out of my head? Was I out of my mind? How could I have ever been so blind?
I was waiting for and indication...but it was hard to find.
