Rebecca does amazing work. She's young too. I think she's 22 or 23 and she's from Scotland. Shannon Ross is another really talented young sports artist from Scotland who is even better.
I'm currently working on a drawing of Johnny Bower myself for a friend of mine that I have about 52 hours into so far.

I'm surprised this post isn't getting more attention. Thought being a Leafs board, people would appreciate this phenomenal drawing.

Wow, that's amazing work.
Was scrolling down and thought the drawing was a comparison picture at first lol.

I saw that earlier on Facebook. Amazing. I can barely draw a stick man.
Every time I try to draw Nylander, it comes out like Engvall.

It's crazy how many amazing artists are out there. Everyday I come across more and more on Instagram whether it's animal portraits, portraits, sports art etc.
she's good but she's got nothing on Teeder Keon's artwork

Back in MY day kids buckled their chin straps. And you better believe we were happy with our Roseart crayons too - none of that cake eater crayola malarkey. And don't even get me started on the forward pass!
I've seen some tattoos that are unbelievable as well, there's some seriously talented artists around
Have zero artistic talent myself but it's fun to see others doing great work

As a fellow artist (don't do portraits though - that's a totally different level of difficulty in terms of pure skill) - that is just awesome, masterfully done.
The most difficult thing with portraits is to capture the true difficult to describe "aliveness" of not only A human being, but a particular one that has their own micro-expressions, look and different nature that is a compilation of a million tiny wrinkles and shades on the human face, It's unimaginably difficult, and I'm a decently skilled semi pro artist myself saying that so that the ordinary guy understands what the value is.
And it's at least a month or two (depending on artist) of hard work to produce such a work . . . the best can do it faster but it's really incredible work.
Kudos to her! She deserves the fame

Ya I focused on doing portraits because if you can capture a person's likeness and like you said expressions, then you can draw anything.
The artists that do it for a living can get their stuff done in a few weeks but for myself, I work full time, so I just draw when I can and some of them take months. It can definitely be tiresome working on the same piece for so long. My longest one to date was of Carey Price that took me 95 hours and I had worked on it over I think 3-4 months. My current one that I'm working on of Johnny Bower, I haven't found as much free time to work on it and I've been slowly picking at it since September.
I definitely appreciate the work other Artists put into their pieces and it's nice when others do as well.
