Artist's Comments

There's a "Terracotta Army"-style statue of him... even a chocolate statue too. He's the number 1 tennis player in the world (well, he should be!). His surname, "Nadal", is Catalán for "Christmas".. =P

I dedicate this drawing to ~TiYaNg... and whoever waited in anticipation!

Anyway... this must be the most detail I've put into a black and white pencil drawing. I enjoy drawing the hands, but not very happy with the hair.
Oh yes, this time, instead of 9B, I used a black colour-pencil.

Graphite pencils: 2H, F, 6B; Black marker; Black colour pencil (Faber Castell)
(Tennis player: Rafael Nadal)

*sigh* Is there nothing that your hands can't turn beautiful? |D Simple graphite, a reference, and a keen eye for detail. Amazing as always.

Awesome! ...I've never seen his hair like that... I'm so used to seeing him on the court with his sweatband... Very pretty picture! :+fav:

Brilliant ^^
I really like details of his hand.
First, I didn't know what happend to his thumb, but now I can see how it is xD
And his gaze is really interesting.
I feel like he wants to read in my mind! ^^
