Mastercopy William-Adolphe Bouguereau "Charity"


This is a mastercopy of William-Adolphe Bouguereau's "Charity". I've used Prismacolor colored pencils. Especially the veil was a lot of fun! I love his paintings. I can learn so much from them.

Audrey Hepburn colored pencil portrait



Finally finished this portrait. Found a nice black and white picture of her and tried my best. This time I used Strathmore paper and as usual my FC Polychromos pencils.

Coloured Pencil Drawing of Sansa Stark (GoT)



This is my version of Sansa Stark from Game of Thrones. Done with FC Polychromos, Prismacolor and Caran d'Ache Luminance pencils. It's photographed in direct sunlight thus shimmers a bit. The paper is a gray Canson Mi-Tientes which I actually liked. It takes many layers. I've bought three Caran d'Ache Luminance pencils -just three, because they are very expensive. But they are like a Royce Royce among the coloured pencils IMHO. The full set of them go straight on the list of what I would buy if I win the lottery. :D

Audrey Hepburn Coloured Pencil Portrait


I still have problems with layering the coloured pencils. The neck is a disaster.. This time I've used my limited range of Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils. They're oil-based which I like. Anyhow, I need to get the layering right. It's the same with graphite pencils, when it comes to shading I still have problems.

Colored Pencil Portrait of Keira Knightley




Now it's finished, my colored pencil portrait of Keira Knightley. Here is the reference picture: http://raaniyork.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/keira-3-keira-knightley-25696898-1600-1200.jpg 

I had a hard time with these wax-based Prismacolor pencils. So I bought a small set of Faber-Castell Polychromos and I hope they're nicer. I've made so many mistakes - this was a try-and-error portrait. In the end I'm not so disappointed as I thought. Although I have to learn waaaaayyy more about portraits and colors and -- *sigh* everything.

Prismacolor Colored Pencils and first portrait


My Set of 132 Prismacolor Colored Pencils has arrived - only 12 days shipping from US - yeah!

And this is the first portrait I did with them. As you can see it needs a lot more practice! It's supposed to be Scarlett Johansson.
