Description For the lack of better title... -_-''' But its a title i had in my mind when i look at this.

Time: 3 days (around 6-8 hours)
Medium: Prisma color pencil, USA letter paper. (8.5X11" )


Step by Step break down: [link]

Ta DAAA~ This is my prisma color pencil piece. Once in a while I use prisma, usually I use Prang. Compare it with this: [link]
You can see the difference in richness.
(but thats useless to say almost everyone know prisma for its richness...)

I set my mind to make illustration pieces that takes longer time to do... one thing about longer pieces that bugs me is that even though I love the piece i work on, it just takes sooo freaken long I feel like ending it. >_< Darn, how am I going to reach to 100 hours with this kind of patience? TT_TT sniff.

***Keep in mind the eagle is more stylized than reality, and the light source.... I hope its directional enough.....

I love this piece.

Is there NOTHING one can't do with pencil crayons?

I needed something like this to boost my confidence. I was going to set down my pencil crayons and start painting, because paints have a more 'opaque'ness to them. No longer! Beautiful works like yours give me the motivation to move on and get better at what I do!

That... that's just unbelievable.

All in colored pencil in only afew hours-- Goodness me. I admire your depth in skills with so many types of art mediums ;____; You can do so much! It must have taken so much patience and practise to learn like this.

The warm lighting is beautiful. It really sets off the golden colors, and the eagle's coloring seems to be a large part of this, since alot of things match to it's color tones. The softs brown color and the tan... Very nice. The folds on the fabric are really amazing. You portray the looseness and weight of the fabric so well just in how it moves.

Amazing shadows. you fit them everywhere they ought to be. This is all so skillful and accurate looking. The anatomy looks fantastic, and I love his hands. You add so much more life with accurate skin tones on human characters.

Beautiful as always =]

Hahah! I am not going to accuse you of being an alien, but I am amazed at your patience with this. I usually move on to something else before I have the first piece completed, especially when I am working with colored pencils! I don't know if you have one already, but the Prisma colorless blender is one of my best friends, especially for spreading colors lightly without the grainy look. You probably already have one, but just in case you dont! Anyway, awesome job!

The title fits.

I...simply cannot believe the Daily Deviation hunters overlooked this. Ridiculous. Ludicrous. And a shocker. >_<
How do you suggest there? I am so going to complain.

The best part of this, for me, is the man's expression. Almost defines his personality on the whole--and it's ever so clear.

--

May I ask: is prisma a type of color pencil/pencil crayons, or a particular brand?
Note to self: earn more money.

Good luck on your next works! I always look at this whenever I color something, and I'm proud to say you were the main inspiration of the best work I've ever done yet. I'll post it after two more. Hope you'll take time to view it. Well, so long as it won't bother you or take your time much.

i do wish to get to Daily Deviation someday. But i simply don't know whether they would do that for someone like me who owns more than 100'000 pageviews. ^^bbb *I think the purpose of that program is to uplift the less known artists who are skilled.*

ArchangelDream In reply to mayshing [2004-10-18 05:11:43 +0000 UTC]

But that wouldn't be fair if you deserve to be there as anyone. Besides, you're still a bit unnoticed for your level, methinks.

But it's all right, really. Knowing you've done your best, it's a lot better than being viewed there a hundred times over.
