SPOILER!!: you are all far too kind <3 ;_;

Okay, FINALLY, I finished another character/face claim portrait. This is Henry Whittebrook, my former Hufflepuff Head Boy, current chaser for Kenmare Kestrels. This child gave me a lot of frustration lol. I actually started this at the end of December and worked on it here and there at work, ten minutes or so at a time. When school closed in March, I put it away for a while as I was busy with other things and other artwork. And school. Maybe I needed a break from colored pencils too. But I picked it up again about a week or so ago, determined to finish it. Prismacolor colored pencils (and also a Derwent, since I didn't have the right yellow ochre) on toned tan sketch paper - I might just make this whole sketch book character portraits. And I used a photo of his FC Francisco Lachowski for reference.

SPOILER!!: Henry Whittebrook

I love love LOVE the level of detailing and how you’ve thought about the paper and ugh it’s too beautiful for words I’m not crying don’t look at me Oh Kita, you really flatter me. I am really glad you enjoyed it Quote: Originally Posted by ArianaBlack wow i’m stunned there’s so much detail, this must take so much patience ___ I’m p much speechless????????????? wowowow. Yes, a whole lot of patience lolol. I love working with colored pencils but I don't love how long it takes me to finish a drawing in that medium. Thank you! Quote: Originally Posted by BanaBatGirl MJ that looks like an oil painting I think these should be framed and in a museum?! SO COOL Oh wow, that's quite a compliment I'm glad you like them, thank you so much Quote: Originally Posted by natekka WOAH. I'm stunned. You're so talented! ;______; Aww, thank you so much! Quote: Originally Posted by siriusblackliveson i'm still speechless. the two drawings are amazing. i seriously had to stop and remind myself they were colored pencil not photos. Wow, thank you I do aspire to realism and think that's more my style, so I'm glad you think so.

I am once again blown away by how you manage to capture changing skintone and highlights and shadows and also!!! her lips, nose, and teeth are done so well (I think I noticed that because I just always have such trouble with those features). I love her eyes too for sure, and her hair and... okay, everything lol. listen. i just love ur art always. ur a prismacolor wizard. Oh wow thank you so much! I really enjoyed working with her face. I think her hair was my favorite and I always love eyes. I understand how difficult noses are, they are my least favorite lol, but I'm glad you thought it turned out well.
