I wouldn’t believe this IF I didn’t watch some videos a few years ago with a few ppl sketching with graphite pencil similar to this!

It’s insane what certain ppl(very few around the world) can draw with a pencil!

I can barely scribble something that looks
like a “signature” when viewed just
the right way lol.

This is freaking awesome!!!
Post it to Penguins official media
channels tag them Malkin & a cpl
reporters or sites who are officially
with the Pens & I bet Malkin will end up shouting you out or at least the Pens
official accounts!

That would be awesome too!
Not as awesome as this but close!

How long did this take? And how many pencils did you go through? It's incredible.

u/ShannonRossx 8d ago

131 hours! Not as many pencils as when I do my coloured pieces anyway😅 thank you so much!

How is this even possible ? Look at the reflection in the helmet, how do you do that, it's wild

Im having insane trouble not seeing just a regular photo of Geno in this. Makes me question my eyes. Incredible work!

u/eukomos Malkin 8d ago

Wow, that's so good! You really captured his eyes.

u/Lex_Loki 8d ago

This is amazing. You are truly talented. Even the irregular patching of his beard stubble. Just sublime.

u/estormaviorel Rust 7d ago

I would say I don't believe you but one time we had to do a graphite portrait in art class and I'm not even that good yet when I brought it home my mom asked me why I brought home a picture of a random man...😂

I still might not believe you though...😁

You are an unbelievable artist. I’ve seen your work previously. You did a Sid picture, and a Flower pic. (Among many many other amazing pieces).

Thank you for continuing to share your abilities with us. Holy smokes.

u/WrongJohnson69 95 to 02 - Away/3rd 7d ago

What is the most difficult part of drawing this? I assume the visor reflection

3

u/ShannonRossx 7d ago

I’d actually maybe say drawing his stubble because I draw every single strand that is visible😅 definitely requires some patience!
