Robert Downey Jr - Coloured Pencilsby =D17rulez

DescriptionDetailsShare
FULL VIEW PLEASE



:damphyr: Mr. Robert Downey Jr.


I wanted a new challenge, so I grabbed my pencils and was thinking that it was about dAmn time I added some colour into my drawings.

I'm planning to make more of these kind of portraits which contains simplicity.

I only draw the eyes, nose and mouth in a gradient of colours, so the person must be recognizable from those three parts. That makes it a challenge.


If there are any suggestions on who you would like to see next in the same drawing technique, feel free to leave a comment :sherlock: you may also suggest the colours.


Expect my Jared Leto drawing probably around tomorrow :la:


:damphyr: Tools:
Used: 8 different coloured pencils (green/blue/purple), 6B, Tortillion for blending, kneaded eraser
Time: 8 hours
Size: A4
Paper: 200 g/m2 paper



Thanks for looking! :heart:

I feel like this drawing is very unique and you used the colors very well. It is a very nice balance. I also feel as if the left eye is slightly larger than the right eye but I can't be sure. And may I asked if you used stippling techniques? I love the intensity of the eyes; it really strikes you with a piercing look. I feel like just maybe you could have done a little more with this piece but that's open for debate. And the gradation of each color is very clean and simple. Overall it is a very nice composition. Good job!

I love it! I could never draw that.

Maybe you could try Taylor Swift, Chris Evans or Scarlett Johansson?

I love this whole concept. When I saw it, I knew who it was, so hats off to you. I've been wanting to experiment with this type of art, only drawing select features, do you have any tips?

The detailing on this piece is amazing, it's just so life like, the colours used add depth to Robert's face and make it stand out with the varied shades. Brilliant!
