What was the reference drawing mate?
Google Robert DeNiro.
There's no shame in tracing the reference points for accuracy and then completing the image by freehand, almost all artists do it.

I said that myself, just don't like the notion of him passing it off as his own when in fact it came from another artist, i am aware of the image you found and it is what they both copied from and that's the word for me COPIED.
I asked for reference art source and all i got was a 'google it', i did and i found him out.
Paul, I'm sorry, but I think your in error. Did he create a pencil drawing of the same photograph as Canavarro did, yes. But that's not a copy. AM's version his his own.Paul said:I said that myself, just don't like the notion of him passing it off as his own when in fact it came from another artist, i am aware of the image you found and it is what they both copied from and that's the word for me COPIED.

Somehow I just knew that that wouldn't be the end of it with Paul. I am more than happy to admit that I googled DeNiro, picked a photo that I liked, traced the outline, then spent 5 hours filling it in by hand. You see, Paul, despite all your hair-splitting, needling, whining, etc., I consider this important training for me, as I am a police sketch artist. Any practice I can get creating a realistic-looking face makes me better at my job. And since I'm drawing anyway, I figure I might as well draw faces of friends and family (which you don't see here) and famous people I like (which you do). Personally, I think it's painfully obvious that I used and traced a reference photo, but I never claimed to have done it free-hand. People need to take a _ _ _ _ _ pill.
