Jan 18th, 2020 : Pencil Sketch

This is not a photograph but a pencil sketch copy of a photograph by a 16 year old girl in Ireland to enter in an art competition.
She won. Duh.
If they had her sketch my picture for a wanted poster I'd turn myself in.



Quote:
For the past four years, 16-year-old artist Shania McDonagh has participated in the Texaco Children’s Art Competition, an art contest for children in Ireland held every year since 1955. Just looking at the astounding portrait above, it may come as no surprise that McDonagh has won the top prize for her age category every year since she was 12, and today snagged the top prize for the 2014 competition with this hyperrealistic drawing of a man titled Coleman.

The judging panel chairman, Declan McGonagle, director of the National College of Art & Design, remarked that the girl’s work could position her “as one of the most talented artists of her generation, and one whose skill could see her become one of Ireland’s foremost portrait artists of the future.” We would be inclined to agree.

Coleman seems like a nice old dude as well.
