I don’t normally do these, but I’ve been wanting to draw him.
Greetings fellow Steemians,
Like I mentioned in the title, that even though I typically don’t draw or paint celebrities, I thought I’d take a break from my usual routine and draw one of my favorite, as what I would consider to be a modern day representation of the superhuman/hero archetype of man, the character Ron Swanson (a.k.a. Nick Offerman)
I decided to do this drawing in graphite and in my tiny sketchbook my little brother brought back for me when he was in Italy.
I’ve always thought that he has illustrated very well on the popular show Parks and Recreation, the epitome of what it means to be a man.
Other great examples such as…
Worf, from Star Trek:
Commander Sisko from Star Trek DS9:
..And even Walter White (Heisenberg) from Breaking Bad:
It's cool that you spent a little time on something that you wouldn't normally do!
Anything that shakes us out of our comfort-zone flavoured reverie can reinvigorate us for the next challenge. Also it's nice to keep 'em guessing isn't it? It can also help us to not get stale and jaded or too comfortable in our own skin.
I would love to have your skill with the mediums you use alas the only material I can mould is words. I'm pretty glad they are free though as I go through a lot and would be constantly found in an art-store with a wheelbarrow stocking up on more.
However I do love to scroll through the body of work at our disposal here on the blockchain...We have a wonderful selection of magnificent artists and creatives ever close at hand. The community is growing exponentially.
I'm truly happy to have stumbled across your work, you are incredibly talented, I truly look forward to seeing you evolve.
Take great care, awesome to have met you. Keep producing the awesomeness 😃

Thank you, yeah it took me quite some time to mull over on the idea of drawing and painting celebrities.
For the most part I've refrained from doing them because on a long term scale it's actually a cheap and lazy maneuver for a painter/artist. There's too much risk in having your work turn into a sterile commodity.
But like I mentioned earlier, for the most part what it represents has motivated me to push forward.
Likewise man! I really appreciate the vote of confidence and the support :)
