There's a powerful simplicity in this, which underlines the details. Lovely.

Great portrait. The intensity of the colour (and it's really amazing that you achieved that with coloured pencils) really draws you in.

Thanks for the lovely comment. I used watercolorpencils, but not mixed with water.

you have incredible work. I absolutely agree that colour pencils are underestimated. They can help to create stunning works such as this one

Coloured pencil is, indeed, an undestimated medium. It's nice to see someone using them well.

Ja zoals je zegt, vergt het heel veel tijd en geduld. Daarom dat ik nu meestal met aquarel werk. Dit is al een oud werk. Van 1999, 10 jaar geleden al, tjonge, ik word oud.Dit duurde een 30 tal uren.Het werk zelf is ongeveer 70 cm X 50cm.

Ik dacht dat de maat ongeveer 65 cm X 65 cm was. En zo heb ik er in dat jaar 4 gemaakt. Toen heb ik vele nachtelijke uurtjes getekend. En hoe wass voor jou de overstap?

Ja deze tekening heb ik niet meer. De andere 2, Lyzardman en Lionman wel nog.
Nog veel plezier met al wat je doet en nog een creatief en liefdevol 2010 wens ik je toe.

I would like to draw like you... how can u draw like that with only colour pencils?

paintedmonke In reply to Xemi [2009-12-21 21:51:46 +0000 UTC]
Three things you can do.Practicing and practicing and more practicing.
And with colorpencils you have to start with the lightest colors and build it up layer after layer and go darker and darker.I always worked on Steinbach 250 grams. The watercolorpencils I use are Caran d' aches soft II. These are the best for me, not to hard and not to soft but it is very personal. You have to try it out.Good luck, you're still young, you like to draw so you're have way. So I say: " start practicing".
