Description I felt like drawing some of BBC's Merlin actors, so here's Bradley James who plays Prince Arthur! Very interesting face to draw; a very angular jaw, which i know i got wrong - too small damn it, large girly lips (haha) and the oddest neck ever. But oh so pretty.

And you can find my Colin Morgan/Merlin pic here: [link]

I'm really enjoying the second series.

ps. One day i'll stop drawing on scrap paper with writing on the back, i promise!

blackbirdrose In reply to merlinfan [2010-11-27 00:56:25 +0000 UTC]

Best way to help yourself to draw people (or more specifically, Bradley) is to try and print out a photo and draw gridlines over the top - this should help you get the proportions right! Try to observe the shapes of the eyes, nose, jawline; so you've got them fixed in your head whilst drawing... and keep at it. These things don't come naturally for a very long time and you do have to just keep practicing. Sorry I can't be more help, its very hard to know how to explain 'how' you draw something. Hope I helped in some small way. Keep at it!

He looks very like Bradley indeed, yes I love Bradley`s mix of very masculine ( his body and angular jaw line) but also pretty girlyness as in his full lips and big, blue eyes and golden, baby blonde hair. What a beautiful man he is.

Yeah, if you'd describe it to someone it would sound like it wouldn't work at all... but somehow it does!

SO beautiful! Actually both those boys have their own charm, don't they? Its just Bradley is traditionally gorgeous whereas Colin has quirky good looks. But yes *sigh* both lovely!

Chaobaby7 In reply to blackbirdrose [2010-04-29 18:03:10 +0000 UTC]

yes they are both gorgeous, I love Colin`s slender willowyness and Bradley`s well made yummyness.

I think he looks great, he's got a very hard facial shape to capture (same with Colin actually) but you've got it really well :D

Thank you! Maybe i am a little over critical of myself.

It is good to be your own toughest critic. I've failed several times to capture the Merlin likenesses and I cannot for the life of me put my finger on what exactly it is that's off! Lolio!

He does have an exceptionally hard face to draw - keep at it though! Drawing faces is one of those things that takes time to perfect.
