Raskolnikow i Razumichin: ''Nie ma spiny...''

Raskolnikow i Razumichin: "Nie ma spiny..." (Raskolnikov & Razumikhin: "Don't bother yourself...") - 15.09.2012





*** WORK DESCRIPTION ***

My first picture of Raskolnikov with his best friend in a bit humorous way. The quote is one of the most frequently used saying among Polish students that means something like: "Don't bother yourself, there are reterms". Isn't it possible that a similar expression might have existed at the universities of tsar's Russia? I don't think so.

As we remember from the book, Dostoyevsky pictured Raskolnikov and Razumikhin as two characters with completely different attitude towards studying. Raskolnikov, as an extremely ambitious and hard-working young man, was studying hard in the hope to acquire as wide knowledge as possible. On the other hand, Razumikhin, a good-tempered optimist, surely damped his friend's ardour (or at least tried to do so) and relieved him of exam stress.

The piece dedicated to all the students - both diligent and avid for knowledge as Rodion Romanovich and those of stoical attitude like Dmitri Prokofievich.

Enjoy!





*** Please read before adding the critique ***

Hello everyone. I would like to know your opinion about my work and my drawing style as a whole. One thing I want to ask you for is not to be rude to me as far as it's my fifth attempt to draw a human portrait ever and I'm just a beginner.

Thank you in advance.

P.S.: The comic-like eyes of the man with a book in his hands is an intentional manipulation!


*** Inspired by "Crime and Punishment" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky and its Soviet screening from 1969. ***


Starring: Georgi Taratorkin, Aleksandr Pavlov.
