Frank Mir Portrait - MMA

Description

Took me a number of days on and off because I couldn't work out what I wanted to do with the belt among other things. I ended up doing it sketchily with a greylead, but funnily enough the scanner lit up the image to the point that it looks as shiny as the original picture so you can barely see the detail. Maybe I will get a new scanner one day, both drawings that I've put on here have been lacking in the faint details.
Face wise, i think it looks enough like him but it isn't quite as good as the Diaz one. That is one of the challenges of drawing with pen, you kind of draw with one hand, cross your fingers on the other and hope it will turn out alright because there's no decent way to erase any errors.

Anyway, this drawing is about the same size as the Nick Diaz portrait but it took me a couple of hours longer... maybe 6 hours total I think.

As for Frank Mir, I just think he's awesome. He was a great commentator for the WEC, and a has managed to have one of the longest careers in the UFC in the heavyweight division, even after that terrible accident which caused him to not be able to fight for a long time.

I was overjoyed when he submitted Nogueira, who I really don't like. If it wasn't for his incredibly coloured and detailed tattoos I might have drawn a picture of that moment.

Oops and a half, I forgot his stomach tattoo. Will fix that in the next couple of days.

*edit* Fixed the tattoo, Although the shape isn't perfect.
