Lonely Man on Train

Did you ever have someone who inspired you to be an artist? I did. His name is Fabian Bermeo. When I was in highschool and everyone was persuading me to get a 'real' job, Fabian, who was an upperclassman and fellow artist, persuaded me to follow my dreams. That was so awesome of him! Here I was this chump kid and the best artist in my school was giving me a pep talk! I hadn't seen him since high school (Which was MANY years ago!) Well today I saw him at a friend's gallery opening reception (findingmyselph.deviantart.com) Anyway, I quickly pulled out my sketchbook and asked him to draw me something. He drew this AWESOME face in almost one continuous line. Even after all this time and not working in the art field he's STILL awesome! Anyway, I rushed home, inked it, scanned it colored it, did some photo manipulating. and came up with this piece. Lonely Man on Train.

I'll put up a before & after as well so you can see his crisp, clean pencil sketch.

That's for being the 1st positive person in my art career, Fabian!!!
