This is a really nice portrait, although I'm not familiar with what he looks like in real life. The only thing I noticed is that the pupils aren't centered.

thanks man ,ive got to scan the reference pic so you can see hes actually looking in that direction,also the scanner didnt pick up all the shading as usual....doh

Needs more contrast on his face. Other than that, looks good

respect.

i know who he is. he drove a Monaro at one point. excellent portrait.

thanks guys ,he was a big influence on me thats for sure

kustmace -damn scanner doesnt show it but theres shading there lol

I had 2 Google "Peter Brock". Wanted a ref. Never saw his pic. I must say b4 i saw a pic of him, I thought it was an excellent drawing. After I saw a pic Im Floored. This is an incredible rendering of ur Hero. Great job!

thankyou girlbear ,that means alot ,i have it hanging on my wall and my 5 yr old nephew walked in and said oh you drew peter brock,saying i was happy to have a 5 yr old recognise it ,is an understatement ,i was also shocked that he even knew him lol,he casually said oh ive seen him on TV it was amazing...the referenc pic i used was when he was in his 40,s so its a fairly old picture probably 20 yrs old
