Description FULLVIEW OR I KEEEL YOU!


I thought I needed some training painting guys, so here's Colin Morgan for you, the guy who has the title role in the television series "Merlin".

I still don't know how to paint hair in watercolour, and I think I used too much brown and grey. He looks a little.... gritty.
And boy is it hard to paint with a contrast between light and shadow in watercolour!

Otherwise I'm quite pleased with how this one turned out, but of course I'm biased in favour of his ears! They're just so adorable!

Anyway "Merlin" is © the BBC

It's.... no secret that I like my other Merlin portrait better, but I'm glad you like this one. I feel like I'm a bad mother to it or something.

Don't worry, it's normal to judge ourselves severely, we always crave for perfection ^^

Ah, I know this too well. That feeling when you look at a finished peace and think "wait, that wasn't how it was supposed to look".

lol The face is really awesome in water color. The hair looks pretty good. It sorta gives it that watercolor feel.

Thank you very much.
And thank so much for faving, I really appreciate it. I might draw him again just to try and get the hair sorted and because his face is really interesting to paint. Those killer cheekbones give a lot of shadows and depths...... Aaand also I love his ears.
