Description It's a Bill 8D
Kind of a shock, actually...

Normally, I'm not much into German music, and I have to confess that before I used to have some reservation against Tokio Hotel.....But somehow I stumbled across some songs of them, realised that they're actually not that bad at all, and that actually you don't need to be Asian to be pretty. 8D

This drawing is one I drew from a screenshot as reference; somewhere in the middle of the pv of World Behind my Wall. The title also is from that song btw XD
In that pv, there's a bunch of flashbacky backstage scenes, and the sight of Bill huddled into some chair, sleeping, was just too adowubul
It's a really good song btw; really worthy to read the lyrics once ^^

So instead of studying for finals I drew....this....XD So much for discipline....* sighs*

I hope you all like it! Feel free to point out mistakes and flaws and stuff; I plan to really work on my drawings the coming 3 months of Freedom XD

P.s I saw it happen to some other works here to DA, and really... please don't comment just to point that it's "EWWWWWW TOKIO HOTEL" cus I'll just shrug and hide your comment....as soon as I know how XD

i know it i'm coming to your art after like forever but i told you that i would love to see your portrait of bill sometime....

i must say that you're an amazing artist and have made every piece of your art very beautifully

you brought perfect life into this portrait and i love bill to death and i love you for making him

the shading and the proportions are magnificent!
the profile of his face is soooo awesome to look at and you got it down so right! i'm saying so because i love bill's profile pictures ALOT....

i want to know what media you used to make bill, from the paper to the pencils to the smudging technique....i know it's a lot to ask but i really want to know.

awesome job!!!

Ah! Every comment is nice, don't worry about any lateness or whatever ^^" Your comment is so nice! It's a shame that for the past half a year I've been experiencing a really heavy artblock... But maybe I'll get over it one time ^^" I certainly hope so, because I really miss drawing, and bringing things to life on paper is magical..

Anyhow, about the picture... First off, I love to try and not draw 'official' photos rather than backstage photos or screenshots... This is a screenshot from the PV of World behind my Wall, because I really loved all those backstage filming..
Bills profile is beautiful, to be very honest, I don't really like his face because it's so... thin.. I like to see a little bit more cheek ^^" But that's just me...

The materials... the paper comes from an old..howdoyoucallit... scrapbook? Because it's used for glueing things on it, and because the book is about 30 years old, the paper has a very nice texture and look..( it also smells really good, but I like the smell of old books)... So, I can't really help you with that... I think you'll have to look around for yourself ^^"
As for the pencils, I probably used a mechanical pencil ( 0.7 mm, HB)to outline the face and all first...Knowing me, I prolly used the same mechanical pencil for most of the drawing XD.... The darker part though, I used Bruynzeel pencils from 5B to 9B.... For smudging I use tissues ( take a corner, role it up in a tiny stick, then bend it once), and cotton sticks ( the ones you clean your ears with. Yes, I'm actually serious). The cotton sticks are good for detailed smudging( the ear), while the tissues are usable for bigger parts ( the face). Highlightened parts are done by using an eraser, then smudging a tiny bit on the edges... all soft lines are made the same way btw; after outlining with mechanical pencil, I smudge inwards, then use the eraser to trace the lines so the hardness gets erased...

Last but not least, when done, I sprayed a tiny layer of hairspray to conserve the drawing and prevent smudging... you might want to be careful about that, exercise on pieces of printing paper first.

....Woah, wall of text, I'm sorry ^^" I hope I didn't offend you in any way, I just like talking about how to draw..

I love this picture very much!
The composition and details are so perfect. I have seen the original picture before and this is just perfect. Very nicely done, with cool details and good whole look.
It is perfect how does it look, when you copied it... I personaly have huge problems with it
