Description
Merlin! Portrayed by Colin Morgan in the BBC 1 series.I love the show, and I love Merlin. He's adoreable!!
And yes, I know, I have to do an Arthur too. I will. A red-themed one I think, since Merlin is blue-ish and they're the colours associated with the lads.
Done with Jasc Paintshop Pro. Referenced from a screenshot from the series. Few hours work. No graphics tablet used. Progress screencap: [link]

Amazing work, it is awesome. I was just wondering if you used any guidelines at all, such as a grid, or was it all done by freehand? Amazing work.

I draw a sketch first, which is layer after layer after layer of trying to make it look right. I don't use a grid generally, but I put the screenshot on the left, and my canvas the same size on the right, and sometimes just use my finger to draw across between the two roughly where the eyes should be, top of the nose, bottom of the nose, top of the lips, and I work from there. If that doesn't work, then I try using a grid, yeah.

Thank you for the information. I am trying to draw portraits myself, just starting off. They are turning out pretty bad. I want to stay with freehand and not use a grid. Perhaps I am still very young (18) compared to great artists like yourself. Although I am not saying that you are old. I will work extremely hard at portrait work from now on till the day I die. I might make the move to digital art. I like the way the digital paintings look. I still have a long way to go.

It's a digital painting. I wouldn't upload something I didn't draw, I'm pretty sure that's against DA's regulations. It's referenced from a screen cap. I didn't record detailed progress work of this, but you can see in this how I do it: [link]

that is superb! (it is almost as if you did that option where you can change a photo to look like a painting,) wow awesome job!
when I caught a glimpse of it in my eye, I thought it was a photo! and then I looked and it was a painting AWESOME!

Haha thanks. Fortunately for me, I use Paintshop Pro and have no software that can make any photo look like a painting, and I upload progress worksheets of my work. (Unfortunately I didn't do one for this, but most of my art has them in the Prep folder.)

it so is! by the way, would you happen to know when the next season comes out?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sometime late next year, though it will have only 10 eps rather than 13, and there's a possibility of it being split in two with the second half being shown in 2012!

Thank you very much! I've been working on trying to make it more and more distinctive as I've done these portraits, and I think this one comes closest (so far) to what I'm trying to achieve

In any case it is very successful ^^

your welcome
you should be! I was a little unsure
about weather or not it was a screenshot,
but then I saw the inprogress on above it

Hah it's nowhere near as clear as a screenshot, specially his clothes. Thanks though. I did reference it from a screenshot. I just loved the way he was looking up and his eyes were shiny so I drew it. And it's all blue-toned, which suits him. I'm waiting for a good red-toned scene with Arthur to come up so I can draw him too.
