Description
It's been quite a while since I last drew something, due to the pressing deadlines on University. Now I'm on an internship I find myself having more spare time. So last night I decided to draw something.I committed myself to a promise I had made to Marnix van den Broeke (a Dutch actor who plays the Silence in Doctor Who), so I drew the Silence. When I uploaded to my facebook and shared it on his Facebook page he responded almost immediately!
It's a nice way to get back to drawing ^^

Well, at first I wasn't sure if this was a manipulated photograph or a drawing, because the shading and shapes were all right. The category tells me it's pencil, so it's really good pencil.
But... I don't know why you would draw this. Now that I've scrolled down, I can't even remember what you drew. I think I understand what my art teacher meant in high school when she said I had no vision. This is just not something you would draw a picture of. It's amazing work, don't get me wrong, but I couldn't even remember what you drew five seconds later. Why don't you apply your skills to something people actually like?

It's indeed haaaard! I was worried I couldn't pull it off. Although it's for from perfect (yes, nothing is ever good enough), I think this is decent enough

I honestly have no idea. I once bought a pack of thicker, more rough and kinda beige paper. And im using it ever since

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True, thats other paper. (sorry, I didnt mean i use it all the time. From time to timr I use grey when I want the highlights to stand out

The effect definitely works, making one certain things pop out, I love it! I'll have to try to get some or just use some darkish paper, I've only ever drawn on white paper.

I just looked at my older drawings. I think I started trying Grey paper only two years back. And I love it! Takes a little more time in comparison to draw on white, but it's sooo rewarding. I remember watching some art from a Doctor Who fan-artist that used coloured backgrounds (although she added the background colours via the computer), and was inspired to try a grey background. And I must say I'm very happy I did. (Just made a new drawing of Kirk Acevedo in the grey-with-white-pencil style, whom is Charlie Francis in Fringe - will upload later today).

Ooh, I'll look at him! I myself recently uploaded my first real drawing of a person that I kind of like, this is my fourth or third attempt. Do you just buy this wonder paper at an art store?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm lazy, I still haven't made a decent photograph of the fringe drawing (eventhough I'm planning a new one already: Donald). Yes, the white paper I bought in Belgium. The grey in cheap shop for little hobby stuff and books, in the Netherlands
