Kimi Raikkonen

This is the first ever finished drawing of Kimi Raikkonen.

I've made it for a contest in an F1 community.

You know, I never draw people on request mainly because I don't draw people I don't know or people I dislike. This is so because I can't really understand if the picture looks like the person in real life, as the only reference is this single picture. Another reason is that drawing is a kind of intimate and personal thing. When I draw a person I study them to the tiniest details. And drawing a person is a bit like gently touching them and feeling them with the fingertips. This may sound somewhat strange. But it is as it is. And probably I would't like someone to draw me as I wouldn't really like someone to study me so closely.
