Description
I often watch the video about the amp Richard uses, even though I don't understand anything about the matter. That was THE FIRST video where I saw him speak and I thought he was so damn handsome. So. Damn. Gorgeous. I made a few screenshots and if you go wayyyyyy back in my gallery, you will see my first Rammstein drawing ever was also a screenshot from the same video. I have tried drawing him many times, even though I never uploaded any of those pictures, just because I felt they weren't good enough and eventually they all ended up in the trash. This Tuesday I watched the video again and made a few more screenshots... This time I was going to make this work.I have quite a big pencil collection, but for the first layer of flesh tone I used 4 blushes and 1 eye shadow. I put more blush on his face than I wear in a week.
Then I continued with the pencils. I still see where improvements can be applied, but this time I feel I did a pretty neat job. Richard has already seen one of my drawings, thanks to my buddies Pfepperon and Dr-Albicilla.
However I hope to have the chance to show him the originals and maybe gift him one if he desires. A girl can dream <3<3<3

I love the wayyo´re paintin /drawig him with colour, looks so real! How long does it take to draw such a masterpiece?

oh Gosh, thank you very much for the nice words.
My drawings usally take between 2 and 7 days to be finished. I draw for 3-6 hours per sitting. I would always choose drawing one portrait for a few days, instead of spending a whole day drawing, simply because this is an exhausiting thng to do. Richard here was super challenging, it took me a few tries to sketch the final drawing and the colouring was also pretty darn tricky, but overall, the whole drawing took me around 5 days.

Marvelous! It´s tricky drawing with coloured pencils, you wont be able to erase mistakes that easy (like it is with watercolour,oil or acrylic paint, where you lay coat on coat). I like how you made many bases on his skin and then finished with pencils. Just like with Make Up And the difference in the structure between the shirt and the nose, for example, really deepens the whole picture.
I like to sit for a whole day and draw, but that´s always a mistake, you need to go out, take a coffee, come back, and look at the picture again, to correct mistakes, if any. I haven´t got patience to do that...but when I see your pic I think that patience really pays off!

I've always been afraid of paints of any kind because I usually erase a lot when drawing and now you are turning my (obviously wrong) beliefs upside down

Well, If you don´t try you will never know...and I´m glad you did, cause it´s stunning! Your black and white portraits are really good too, you´re very good at drawing realistic. But oh, the colours!
So you DID use make up for this? Like Eye shadow? Never knew you could use that, never met someone who uses Make Up in colouring ( but when I think about it, it does seems logical...). Wasn´t it hard to make the Eye shadow stick to the paper? Like, when you put make up on the skin with brushes, the surface "sucks" in the colour...it´s skin. But paper is just plain. Or what type of paper did you used?
I think I´ts cool to try new ways, and you did create beautiful differences in the textures. Thats why I also like the shirt so much, it´s soft and you can see the light reflect on his shoulder. The light is good along with his face, if you know what I mean so it works very good without charcoal too!
I´m like that too that´s why I always draw portraits....

What I told a friend of mine, who is really popular here in dA for their beautiful comics and drawings is that I just don't know how to convert a portrait into an animation and that is the only reason I stick to drawing what I see. I think one must be very skilled to be able to draw a cartoon character that looks like the real person.
And yes, I used make up for achieving the face colours 
I adore how the light just ran as a natural contour along his face as well... those are the pleasures of drawing, you see every detail and drool over them
Sorry for the uber late reply, this is how I do often times

I too find the animation-style really cool especially when someone can draw a person in comic-style but it looks like the real one, just as you said...hey, are we talking about the same dA person?
But realistic portraits will always have a special place in my heart. It´s fascinating when you see a photo of someone, draw it with a pen/pencil/colour, and it looks nearly just like the photo itself, that´s amazing!
So texture paper was the key, could have figured it out since it´s so hard to make it stick to plain paper I use brushes to put my own make up on, and it´s creative that you choose to use Make up as material. Not paint, like most people use brushes for. Interesting! Think that Reesh looks very good with make on (ha ha i´m so funny!)
I agree, when I see a good drawing I can sit a whole day and just look at all the details ^^
No problem

I think we are talking about the same person, yes 
Textured paper is key when you work with powders. And very persistent brushing as well. In some places I applied eye shadow on top of pencil; in other places I put the pencil on top of an eye shadow layer. With cream products (I use cream-to-powder foundations) though, you'd better use smooth paper, because the grain of the paper kind of makes it difficult for the products to slip and blend. I learned this with my most recent Risch. And I use a 120gram paper. If your paper is too thin, the oils from the products will transfer on the other side.
And I also think Risch looks glam with make up on <3

Yep, that´s right not too hard to guess
Yeah powders doesn´t stick very well to just a regular plain paper. So then you used a smooth paper for the newest Reesh.
That mistake with too thin paper...i have made it a lot of times! I used to buy really thick paper, because it was easier to work with. In art class, we used to sketch with charcoal on canvas and it did stuck great. And charcoal is light. But foundations...have you tried using it on canvas? Just being curious never tried it before.

the newest Richard portrait was kind of a fail. I tried twice. The first time I drew him on a smooth paper, which was just a piece of scrap paper, but then the drawing itself came out very good and I decided to switch to my regular textured paper but then the blending kind of sucked
I am considering buying thick paper too, suitable for watercolour drawings even because it's easier to work with.
I just bought a few canvases to try a few stuff. Not plannign to draw anyhting in particular on them, just try product and different techniques on them so I will let you know how it goes

Oh I recognise that
Oh I would really love to see how it turns out, I think your coloured drawings are amazing, so It would be nice to see such on canvas
By the way, I love your series/photo collages, they are really funny and a good mix of art!

thank you dear!!! My collages are kind of my lazy way to show I am not dead yet

he's awesome.
you should marry him. :'33

Wow, you really said that. Can't believe, wait a second, I need to slap myself in the face. Okay, back... omg, you really said that.
First, I need to meet him. But he has this really strange ability to make girls go stupid and forget everything, their own names included. And since I'm well known for my silliness around handsome men... I'm afraid that unless the man is really but really into idiots, I have no real chance of getting even close to marying him. But it's a nice thought, I'm gonna have to daydream every detail
All the babblings aside, thank you so much for commenting, let me squeeze you real tight

Don't we all wish to marry some celebrity we love. x3
I'm sure many people have a list of celebrity they'd marry.
And every female fan would want him, so, him choosing one is unlikely. x3
at least, you can get his signature! If you get a chance to meet him. x3
Good luck to you, pursuit your dream. x3

Oh Gosh, don't get me started on this. I never managed to grow up. I still dream of meeting celebrities like I am 13-14 years old. And I sill squeal and act all shy around handsome men

Any other celebrity you're dying to meet? Anyone besides rammstein members, they are obvious choice. X3

Oh my, you are making my imgination soar... Well, another man I have been madly in love with is Jon Bon Jovi and if I see him now I'll probably lose all powers to speak

Jawdropper!
I especially love the region of his mouth, like he`s gritting his teeth a bit in order to concentrate...
Hope your dream of giving Mr. Kruspe one of your pictures will come true!

Oh my, I just can't be serious, not even for a second
I am so so so glad you like my Risch :3 I also felt like he was almost clenching/gritting his teeth as if he was trying to establish some connection with that guitar. Thats what attracted me to this exact image. I'm so glad I made it appear in my own interpretation as well 
I will probably laugh myself silly and pass out if I ever get to hand this to Richard

Love the guitar. And the shirt. And that rolled up sleeve. And Richard. Oh my, love everything! This is amazing!

Does this mean you are coming to the Risch fanclub?
I'm so so so happy you like him <3 The man needs some love! By the way, he probably loves this shirt a lot, because I have seen him wearing it on numerous occasions

And I'm totally amazed by the fact of drawing with make up!

Hope I stick to only makeup in terms of non-conventional drawing materials.
You are always so darn kind that I blush every time you say something like this <3 However I always feel something is off in the drawing, because in reality he is so perfect, every little curve is so perfectly placed... drooling again, sorry.
as for shirtlessness... I already have a very very good drawing reference, now I need some time

Being totally honest, when I went to check on this first drawing, I couldn't believe myself that I managed to improve so much. But this only comes to prove that practice makes perfect, although I still feel I'm nowhere near perfect. But the quest continues
Thank you so much, my darling! I'm not gonna torture you all with my Richard manias, a Paul is also coming. He's like 60% done
