Excellent work, Carina. My only comment is that I think his nose is bent to one side, although you have captured its shape perfectly. Awesome stuff!
Other than the name, I cannot tell that was drawn by the same person who drew Duncan. Your work has greatly improved. Keep at it!

Awesome!
You are definitely a genius!
Where can I get a copy?
Screw it. Keep it a bowling ball. People can just assume he's staring down one of those insufferable 7-10 splits.I just need to make it look more like a basketball and less like a bowling ball.
very cool!!!!!!!
File > Print > Ok
Yah, it probably would since it was drawn from a photograph.
Nice sketch, I haven't seen all the drawings that everyone is referring to, but I like how you've moved away from the simple line work in the Duncan picture posted under this discussion and let your shading create all the lines in this Manu portrait.
Have you ever considered using charcaol if you're staying in a black and white medium? It's relatively inexpensive and you can get some great contrast using it if you don't mind the mess.
Are you the one who made those cool Spurs paintings at 48 MoH?
I've considered charcoal many times, but I think the one time I started doing it, I couldn't control the mess so I gave up. But I'm open to it, the same way that I'd like to do some color again. Just that I never get around to doing it.
Yes. I wish I had time to do more. I have a Blair one in the works, but I'll probably get down to a Manu one before I finish that one. Watercolors take me a bit longer, but they're cheaper than other paints.
With charcoal, stick to portraits first--just a close, tight shot of the face. The point is to have some open space to work with the medium. Also, with charcoal, you want to go with a higher contrast on the picture. The subtle shadings with the pencil are nice, but harder to work with charcoal.
I always lay the charcoal down on the darkest areas first, generally the hair of jersey framing the face. Then I grab one of those blending stubs (or roll newspaper into a point to create one) and take some charcoal from those dark areas and push it out to create the shadows on the face. I never actually use the charcoal block or pencil itself to touch any of the face. I do use a charcoal pencil for the eyes though. Also have to make sure you have fixative for after you're done. Hair spray works too.
It's been ages since I did watercolor or charcoal so my technique is pretty much nil. The main reason why I stick to pencil is because it's simple. I never had much success with shading using charcoal, so thanks for the tip.
Do you know any site that has useful tutorials on drawing with charcoal? Especially shading.
Welcome to SpursTalk. Appreciate your work on 48MoH, and your Duncan drawing after the Warriors game is great.
That is your best sketch that I have seen here. Kudos.
Very nice! Congrats and keep up the good work!
magaling ! mahusay ! proud to be your kababayan keep it up more power to you ! btw do you live in San antonio ?
im a filipino but i reside in alaska but im out here in manila on vacation for the holidays
I'm proud of you big sis!
You think maybe he broke it straight?But he did break his nose recently...
Nah, his nose naturally leans one way, and the thickening of the ridge (captured perfectly in the sketch) tells you he's broken it at least once.
Not in San Antonio, not in the Philippines. Sad, isn't it?
Seriously though, how can I get a copy? Do you do other work on the side? Like if I sent you a picture, could you draw it? I'd pay you....PM me.
I think many people are missing the point of this picture. It's much deeper than just Manu and Basketball.
Or it could just be a sketch
Woah, another awesome sketch.One of Carina's earlier sketches for anyone that hasn't seen her work before.
