You are a Genius with charcoal just as Leonard is a Genius with his writing and voice. How in the world could 4 viewers dislike this?? But then again they may also dislike puppies, ice cream, chocolate, West Coast sunsets, laughter, clean air, peace, Mom's apple pie and ................
If you love Leonard Cohen, and surrealistic symbolistic lyrics, you’d like my music too. He’s one of my two great musical heroes. I made a song called "A Winter Evening's Tale”. This is also for all of us folks facing 2011. Do check it out in my channel or check it out in the video response of this awesome video. The song references Pilgrim's Progress, bible, Alice in the wonderland, Revelations, crusades etc. It also depicts eerie classical paintings. Have a folky new year!

these are the best portraits i have ever seen, the only thing that comes close would be a photo, but these are better because done by hand. i want to be as good as you one day.
you should do prints out of this, or draw hundred or so of them and put them on the sale...I'll be the first one bidding :)) really great great work - picture - of a great great artist:))
Holy shitt this is unbelievable awesome! Comes to think to me some guys have not 'just a talent' but a divine one sometimes, one in lyrics like Mr Cohen or one in drawing, like you...respect is all I can say!
Leonard Cohen, a Canadian icon, from La Belle Province - Quebec. His music has been a part of my life from my 'tweens to the present. I just love him. Beautiful portrait.
bensisko16;eyes are MOST important part of the picture(in my oppintion)because when you talk/look at the person you always see the eyes which are mirrors to persons soul(speaking poeticly).i remember drawing a person from the side and i drew everything exept the eyes and at that moment it LOOKED like the person i was drawing but then i filled in the eyes an screwed up the hole thing because it was incorrect in it was in cofined space so rubing it out was too much of a hassel.hope that ans your Q
What pencils or instruments do you use? I can always get the details right, but when it comes to shading, I find it hard to get a consistent tone, especially when just doing flat black areas in pencil.
Really really good. I'm facinated as I watch this drawing come to life and it's so accurate, it really looks like the person but with a nice artistic slant on it. I'm wondering why the eyes are always drawn last, I tend to draw the eyes first to grasp the likeness. Maybe such skill comes with time.
As you are probably aware, Leonard Cohen will be performing very soon in Dublin. He is also going to perform in Israel. All progressive pro-boycott of Israel groups (Jewish, Arab, Palestinian, Solidarity) have asked Leonard not to perform in Israel.
The Irish Palestine Solidarity Campaign are leafletting Cohen's Dublin concerts (Dates July: Sun 19th. - Thursday 23rd.) and selling T-shirts for concert goers to wear; so please bring an extra €5 to support out t-shirt sales.
Are you the artist for this work? Wow man amazing. If you just post this drawing without showing that it was drawn, I woulda never found out that it was just a drawing cus it look like an actual portriat taken. But yeah man you should give out lesson. Later.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!! This was amazing. It was so fascinating to watch LC take form before my eyes. And speaking of eyes, it was very eery seeing everything take form except his eyes...those gorgeous, piercing, kind, humble eyes! His eyes truly are the windows of his soul. Thank you.
It's so wonderful to see that you did this by hand with a pencil and paper instead of a computer program like I was expecting, like other videos I've seen on here. As an artist, myself, it fascinates me to see the processes of other artists from beginning to end. What brand and size of paper was this and what kind of tooth?
My hat is off to you on a great rendering. However, i was very disappointed when i found the exact same image you drew... as a photo. I wish yours was an original... i really do.
hey, got a question a very good friend of mine is very very sick with breast cancer, and her birthday is coming up in about a month and a half, what i wanted to do was get a picture hand drawn of me her and some other friends done, i could pay you of course. msg me back!
I will be starting another channel soon that will be hosting tutorial videos in drawing. It will be starting off real basic. You may be interested in that when the time comes.
Practice help, that's for sure. If you look back to some of my older videos, you will see that my portraits were not always that great.
The reason why I did not use a Leonard Cohen song is simple...
I am not allowed to upload content that is not my own unless I have permission form the content owner. Doing so without permission, is copyright infringement and is also against the law.
love leonard cohen's portrait...you're very good. how about Joey Ramone? So many drawings of him are so cartoony but you're a real portrait artist...think about it; a lot of people would love it...happy new year!!
Def. Robert Pattinson! my frnd might make a video response for him so hopefully you will draw him all th Twilight fans would just die! haha i would enjoy watching that one!
Thanks. Yeah, I do... I don't recommend doing it my way. Doing it your way is much more of an accurate way to do things. The only reason why I save them for last is for the sake of keeping the video interesting. Thanks again!
Simply incredible. Very inspired. You my friend are a master. A true master.
