I did this thing based on a Mayan calendar wheel and a cog I made from an actual gear. I wasn't really sure what to do with it, it was just a composite I did one Saturday just for fun.

Is that in PS? That would take a steady hand to get it to look that consistent.

Oh yea it's Photoshoped, ran the Mayan calendar through a filter. The gear in the middle is something I put together in Illustrator, some random line art I was using for something else.

You know, come to think of it I've never tried to sketch it. Seems like there are some possibilities there, maybe when I get some time I will.

Good representation. Unfortunately doesn't look like they scanned too well. Is that just graphite pencils?
I took pictures of them with my phone, sorry, no other way. These where sketched free hand by a number 2 pencil, and a blending tool.

The lighting is better, I need better light in my apartment lol. What did you change?


Desaturated to get rid of the green tinge, and adjusted the contrast levels.

Great, how long do they take?
Depends on many factors. Is the portrait in color or black and white? If what im drawing from, the reference is in color, its harder to distinguishe the shading.
