The Kung Fu legend Bruce Lee. This will be a bday present for my sister next week. She is a huge Bruce Lee fan and I hope she´ll like it. This one was quite fast done compared to other drawings in this size. It took me approx. 10 hrs. I blended not very much at this drawing. That is one reason for the quick finish. I´ve got a lot of great tips what I could used as background and I tried to imagine how it could look but I decided me for an very simple fog like background. I think it worked pretty good .
Tools that were used: A3 Hahnemühle Nostalgie sketchpaper with 190 gsm A 3H graphite pencil for the sketch, a 2B 0,7mm mech. pencil, a 2B regular pencil and a 0,5mm B mech. pencil for the shadings. A eraser. A reference

There is a balance to the universe. The struggle to maintain that balance is the stuff of legends. For there can be no good without evil. No love, without hate. Life needs death. Innocence feeds lust. There can be no heaven without hell. I am Darkness.
I know everyone says this is badass, and rightly so.You look like you caught Bruce in one of his movie moments like after he stomped on the guy's throat in "Enter the Dragon". But aside from all that he did much more, including paving the way for so many Asian action stars in an industry that didn't take Asians seriously. This is a wonderful portrait and I think leaving it blank was such a good idea. It would have been such a shame to take away from the wonderful figure you've drawn.

Martin: Do humans always talk this much when they fight? Tymr: Well, we can't all be silent and antisocial.
