Christopher Walken after 4 years of progress

Description

I finished the drawing (left) today (2-23-2013) and the other (right) on (1-31-2009) so this is about 4 years of practice apart. The OLD one I did just 4 MONTHS after returning from a 30 YEAR break. I wanted to show everyone that, although we may be born with natural God given talents, gifts and abilities, it remains up to US to practice :D "Practice does NOT make us perfect, but it DOES make us better"

"If you wish you had someone's talent, but are not making the most of your OWN talent, you would only waste both"

Excellent comparison - and I couldn't agree with you more

I also took a long (25 years) break from drawing, and got heavy into photography. I'm back now and have been working on my first pencil drawing in 25 years and it's a blast - and I am loving the result - can't believe that I have this ability - we may all have it.

The coolest thing is you can see different skill levels from older parts of the picture - what a difference even a few weeks can make :)
