  • 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 ................

  • Great!

  • AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!!

  • No ,dobra, a ta muzyka też Twoja?

  • 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!

  • simply amazing ~ thank you for sharing your talents!

  • hey mind if i do a video response with a lyrical representation of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah

  • Fucking fantastic!

    but the drawing is good :)

  • great work!

  • Fabulous Man!!! Fabulous!

    ART NOT BOMBS!!!!

  • daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn thats what i call talent

  • 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.

  • hey.. you! stop drawing so good.. u make me feel bad :P naa dude.. keep drawing! u are so cool :)

  • rite on! You make it look so easy........how long have you been drawing my friend? You have a beautiful gift!

  • i love how you always do the eyes last coz it makes it look like a photo with no eyes

  • You are good!

  • amazing

    -dom

  • What is the pencil that you are using? By the way , nice woork!

  • Sembra vero. Canta quasi. Stupendo!

  • 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.

  • very nice ,love it,thanks...peace...m______

  • I think that is one of the best drawings I have ever seen! You are fantastic! I wish I could draw like you :O

  • 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.

  • Palestinians are the cancer on this planet.

  • When did you start to draw? Your Drawings are so brilliant! Hope to be drawing like you one day =) all your work is inspiring.

  • Thanks! I'm glad it does that for you.

    I can't really say when I started in art, probably since I have been able to pick up a crayon! lol

  • Wow your shading and details is so realistic..

  • Thanks very much. I'm glad you liked it.

  • 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.

  • iT'S THE EYES THAT BRING LIFE TO ANY, FACE GREAT

  • Thanks!

  • Brilliant - thank you so much

  • hahah the music thinks me of TotalRecall hahah lol ill be back

  • I love b&w potraits, great job, keep working.

  • Amazing! *****

  • yeah, what lilityre said. photo-realism is very good training. You are a great craftsman

  • 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?

  • Great work!!!

  • Amazing job, William! 5 stars!!! :)

  • Thank you very much!

  • wow! you're an amazing drawer, really wish I could draw like you.

    :)

  • Very nice to make it the pictures are really good, it can send him a photo and they make it into a portrait or is it not possible

    ?

  • 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.

  • its still really fun to see it done :)

  • un super logiciel qui denature le dessin et va que je te filme..

  • all the emotion you captured in the chin... and they eyes... well done

  • Good job!

  • great video nice job 5/5 keep up the good work! Check my channel out and comment rate and subscribe

  • Nice!

    Leonard Cohen is a major song writer - I'd rank him among the top 10 composers, over the past 50 years.

  • awesome and i don't no who this is

  • Wow!

  • WOW!!!! I wish I could draw that fast...I mean after drawing it over 12,000 times...he could do it blind folded....

  • I like how you drew his eyes last.

  • Impressing and breathtaking...

    Could you please draw Keira Knightley ? ^^

  • can u please draw me

  • Awesome!!!!!!!!!

  • Superb.

  • just amazing

  • 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!

  • ok, well all the information on this is laid out in the services section of the website.

  • if i start drowing now will i make it??

    i wanted to drow so badly when i was a kid

    but i couldint, i start drowing now but i dont know if i can make it.if you don't have a talent in drowing but you love it can you do it?

  • I believe so. Sometimes it's just a matter of finding out what kind of drawings and style you like to do.

  • i am into Japanese anime.

    i love to draw cute things.

    i started with faeces

    Now i am trying to draw full buddy

    Thin full buddy with a back ground.

    But my friends make fun of me they say quit drawing you cant draw.

    But i feel like i can draw.

  • w0w :D

  • my friends say that all the time to me i jus get upset but the girls bak me up soz jus ask ya mom what she thinks what tools do you use

  • But the problem how and where to learn

    and tell you the troth i feel i dont have the talent.

    that's what i think. i need someone to assist me.

    so if i can send you some of my drawings can you tell me if i can do it.

    i mean i love drawing so much . But i feel like i am not good at it.

    Actually i am not good at it.

    Thanks

  • 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.

  • oohhhh!!! i luv it :D i luv it so much!!!!!!! Ur the best drawer 4 me xD

  • you should try drawing gene wilder he is my favorite actor,

  • Simply AWESOME! You are so divinely talented, truly gifted & blessed!

    Just a thought ...Why didn't you choose a Leonard Cohen song though? Suzanne would've gone down superbly. :)

    Can picture you a DAVODEES (You Tube username) in partnership one day!

    See his great works at dees2 . com

    You need a place for permanent exposure of your excellent works, like David has with rense . com

    Love & LIGHT!

    South Africa

  • Thank you very much!

    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.
