It is not an exact representation of the actor Jeremy Renner but an attempt to capture his hard edge.
This was a quick drawing in charcoal pencil. I didn't take the time to smooth out the lines and make it look soft since the emotion is cold and the expression is serious. I had only about 45 minutes to work on it.
I CHANGED MY MIND
I was going to leave a lot of places empty like a statement but there is a rare completeness in this man's face that speaks of an ideal of fulfilled manhood that it would be a misstatement to draw him as anything less. It is nice to find a face to draw that is truly manly.
DARK
I wanted the dark areas to be deep and somber but was afraid that too much black would overpower the picture. I was afraid the face would be too white by contrast, (I regret it is a little paler than what I was hoping for).
LIGHT
I thought about adding a little white charcoal to the highlights but decided it would make the picture too complicated.
If I had more time to work on it I would give more attention to the overall value of the face and make it a shade darker and deepen the shadows some; I would have worked on the eyes more since that was where the power of the expression is.
