Dracula revealed

Well here's another attempt to get into the Halloween spirit with my very own rendition of Bela Lugosi! Yes, the famous Dracula.
I'm attempting more realism in my depictions of humans...at least trying to anyway. This is based on the young Lugosi from the 1920's. I used as reference what looks to be an early press release photo.
In case some of you don't know just 'who' Bela Lugosi is! For shame! Here's a little sample of the master at work.

LOL! That came out pretty good, you got his face REALLY well, my only gripe is that the shirt on his left shoulder appears.. "FLAT".. it doesn't show any depth.. But then, that ref photo looked the same (I think?!) I don't remember now!
Still though, excellent job on his face!
More please.
This is another in my slow, sad attempt to do humans in some half-way realistic style. As we've talked about previously: human faces are damn tough to do.
I'll be working on more humans soon. Halloween is still in the furture. Perhaps time for one more monster? ;)
I'm pleased you're a Bela fan! Coolness. Thanks for the nice words, gator snake.
I really appreciate your comment. Given what I've seen of your magnificent pencil work, it means a lot when you say something nice. :)
