He's a real nowhere man,

sitting in his nowhere land.
Making all his nowhere plans,
For nobody.

*The beatles.

 

Did you ever wondered, what it will be like if you are the only man left on the planet?

This concept came in my mind when my dad was lissening to this song from the beatles. When the song ended I thought this question here a bove, the land wher you live would be nothing worth if your alone. What will it be like if you are the only human man left on the planet. This shows a bid of my feelings when I feel alone. I always hide and sit in this position. Wrapped with my arms around my knees. You can see the nowhere lands a bit like "Peter Pans, Never land"

If your interested you can find the line art here. Anyway, this is my new character called Feij.  He's the only human man left, in the nowhere lands.

Time: 39:20:05 spend over 3 weeks.

Made with: Paper 81Ibs, Pencil: H, 6H, HB, B, B3, B9, Dusters #1 and #2. Eraser.

Great, that song is going to go through my head now. 14 Might as well:

" . . . Doesn’t have a point of view,
Knows not where he’s going to,
Isn’t he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere Man, please listen,
You don’t know what you’re missin’,
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command."

On to the picture. It’s three weeks well-spent! One thing I like about it, you can tell where the light is coming from. I like the really dark shading down between the chest and shoulder. Great job on the leather jacket, you could have fudged on that but you didn’t. I like the close-up, makes the whole picture more effective. That’s part of why you are improving so much, it’s not just the drawing, but how you draw.


:-) Asja Ilonka Keeman replies: "Here to, I like the song very much, maybe I’m going to do something with the other couplet next drawing. Close ups are so much fun to do, I really like drawing them, you can add a lot of detail in it and make the picture really a live some how. I like that last sense of you very very deep 2"

You should watch the Beatles’ Yellow Submarine, they do a segment with that song.

" . . . He’s as blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see.
Isn’t he a bit like you and me.
Nowhere Man can you see me at all?"

I’m having way too much fun with this. 11

:-) Asja Ilonka Keeman replies: "I noticed, ahhaha but its a good song isn’t it. I will look if I can find it. Maybe I can get some inspiration out of it for the next Feij drawing 12"

Beautiful shading. Yes, if I were the last person on the planet I think I would be a tad morose as well.
There is an american comic book about the last man on earth called Y: The Last Man. All the women are still around though, so he must disguise himself as a female to keep his freedom...


:-) Asja Ilonka Keeman replies: "He’s playing that he’s a girl? that would be so funny. Going to look it up! *laughs* thank you for the nice words!"

:-) Asja Ilonka Keeman replies: "Glad to hear you like him, thanks for visiting 2"

Such a realistic and crisp and beautiful drawing! You really inspire me to try again with pencils myself, it’s been so long since I last dared touch my more artsy ones.

And big credit to you for the Beatles tribute! 1 They rock!

:-) Asja Ilonka Keeman replies: "Portrait are so much fun, you can add so much detail and emotion in them. I hope you going to draw with pencils again.

The Beatles are great 1"

I was compelled to click the little "Tag as Favorite" icon. You’ve done an outstanding job on this figure.

I don’t know if this sounds like a strange oppinion, but I really like the way you’ve portrayed the nose on this.

:-) Asja Ilonka Keeman replies: "Hahahaha thanks I think 1"
