Ink on copy paper.
Sketched in early June, 2009; during my big Richard Conte crush, and THIEVES' HIGHWAY obsession.
I'm fairly happy with it.
I know his eyes are too big, and I messed-up his hand -- I can never do hands!
Plus, one sleeve of his jacket has a cuff, and the other one doesn't.
-- Oops. ;)

I LIKE it! And as a hopelessly inept artist, I never even noticed those "flaws" until you pointed them out! Great work!
i like it too! dont worry about his head, i heard lots of Hollywood types get big heads after a while ;)
Naked Man: Thanks. I'm glad you like it. :)
...
Artman: I'm glad you like it, too.
Is his head too big??
I thought it was just his eyes...
I don't know.
It only looks good to me when it's framed and sitting on my shelf. Here, I think it looks kinda silly.
Eh c'est tres bien, ca! Les details du visage sont tres reussis - les os des joues, la ligne de la machoire, le menton... et que dire des plis aux coudes? Ca c'est tres bien, tres reussi. Formidable, Cendre! (I make a mean mac & cheese myself!)
I like it! Thanks--I forgot to mention on the other comment--even if it's a repeat, Penance Envy is just flat-out funny.
Ernie: Thank you. :)
And very clever...slipping it in French! ;)
If I weren't lactose intolerant, I'd love to taste your mean mac-n-cheese.
The elbows did come out nicely, didn't they? I tell ya...that one arm, the one with the hand shoved into his pocket, it may adorn the most perfect jacket sleeve I've ever drawn. ;)
Someone get this kid a trophy! She drew a jacket sleeve...
We'll celebrate with a bowl of your mean mac-n-cheese. Just leave mine cheeseless, and I'll drown it in ketchup.
(I'll quit rambling now.)

John: Thank you! I'm glad you like it, too. :)
After a quick google search, I learned there's lots of clever people in this world...and several other posts online entitled 'Penance Envy'.
'Course I wrote that piece four years ago, so hell, maybe they stole it from me. ;)
