Artist's Comments

Drawn from a 1945 photo (in scraps) for the PortraitPencilArt Club Holiday contest.

I hope you understand the title. It's from the movie A Christmas Story, where a young boy wants a BB gun for Christmas and everybody tells him "You'll shoot your eye out", including Santa Claus.

Ref photo: [link]

Merry Christmas to all!

The problem with immediate gratification is that it takes too long.

I've been in the spirit since last christmas. This drawing looks great. I can definately see some improvement, not that all your others aren't great either.

There are many things in your life that will catch your eye but only a few will catch your heart....pursue those...

Of course we understand the title! if people don't then they have clearly never gone to an American school. I think we've watched that movie all 13 years before winter break LOL!

Someone else told me Santa's nose looks odd, but when I compare it to the ref photo that's how I see it. Where am I off?
