In my whole life I don’t think I’ve done anything as well as what you have done in 71 hours.
Damn this is awesome
I love art. I only got into sports recently. I’m queer and goth. Who would ever have imagined I’d become obsessed with hockey? Anyway, this has also sparked my obsession with sports portraits and paintings. Love this. 🥰 Do you sell prints?
That is really, really awesome. Great work, and thanks for sharing!
Wow, this is incredible! I love your drawings- especially the Landy one
Edit: Love the Cale and Crosby ones too
I honestly thought it was an amazing black and white photo. I’m still trying to wrap my mind around this being a pencil drawing. Beautiful work.
This is insanely detailed, you’re so talented
Nate should see this. I bet he’d be as impressed as I am. This is amazing
WHAT?!
Absolutely incredible. I am in awe of your skill.
Wow! Great shading and detail
These are way more than high enough quality to be posted to r/hockey (idk sub rules for art, might check that first). You deserve more karma than we can give.
Holy shit!!! That’s amazing work!!
What kind of black magic is this?
That is fucking awesome. The detail of the referee in the reflection in the visor is next level. Holy crap.
I am DYING over the reflection of the ref over his eye. This entire thing is incredible.
No shot that’s pencil, incredibly done!! I’m amazed at what humans can do
That’s incredible!
Holy moly!
How much easier would it be if hockey players didn’t wear visors?
Spectacular!
Beautiful work. At first I thought it was a photo then I looked at the detail work and could see it was a drawing! I’m an artist as well but I’m nowhere near as talented
You have to be as talented as MacKinnon to create something like this.
Wow this is incredible.
Wow. How many years of art school or training to be able to do this?
WHAT IN THE WORLD??? This is AWESOME
Outstanding work!
Wow!! Absolutely beautiful!!
Absolutely amazing work. I wish that I had even a small portion of your talent at literally anything.
This is…AMAZING. It honestly looks like a true black and white photo. The detail in this piece is outstanding! You should definitely post this on your socials and tag Nate and the Avs…you never know what could happen!
Your skills are unparalled. Everything you draw is literally unbelievable.
Insanely impressive
Insanely impressive. Do you have a website?
This is an absolute fucking masterpiece. Amazing work, you have quite the talent!
I don’t want to call you a liar, but this has to be a photo. The reason I say this is because if this in fact a pencil drawing that took you 71 hours, you should be one of the most famous artists in the world and this would be hanging in a museum right between the Mona Lisa and American Gothic. Do you understand that pencil drawings are not supposed to look like this?? It doesn’t make sense to me how this is not being talked about on the news or making national headlines right now…
Yo the reflection on the visor tho … Great work, you should be proud!
Holy SHIT Dan
I stumbled upon one of your process videos on Instagram, but my feed auto-refreshed and I couldn’t find it again. Mind dropping your IG so I can check out more of your work?
