let me start by saying, i will never do this ever again. i wanted to end 2009 big. so i decided to work on a piece dedicated to the best mix martial arts fighter of all time, fedor emelianenko. achieving likeness was tough, because unlike what i was taught in art school, where we focused on nailing down big shapes before working on finer details, i had to work in reverse, because i am drawing directly with a sharpie. so i started with his left eye, and i slowly worked outwards. the curved surface made his head look longer than it is wide, but it really isn't when seen in person. i've wanted to give up after working on just the face after a whole weekend. then just when i was about to, a guy at the cafe walked by and said," whoa! its fedor!" i guess i wasn't doing too bad a job, so i kept on going. a week later, this is it. speed draw video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhvq9nkM0Oo for more: www.iamboey.com facebook: www.facebook.com/cheeming.boey
