Description
It's Reading Week, and I should be doing more homework, or at least working on areas I need to improve in... like colour, anatomy, environnment, style, and composition... but, no, I've decided to enjoy (and doom) myself! So, I've actually been watching "Merlin" and "Supernatural" at the same time... and not just to look for cute guys to draw... >_>Anyway, these are the upper profiles of Colin Morgan and Bradley James, who play young Merlin and Arthur. Done in Photoshop. See, I decided to paint only some of their faces so I wouldn't have to spend so much time on this, lol.
Hm, yeah, I know Arthur's hair is shockingly white, but I guess I was just playing with contrast, in relation to Merlin's pale skin and pitch black hair. So, yeah, Arthur's just... um, tan? I like how they're both a bit ethereal looking now, anyway...
And now... back to more landscape studies. V_v

Oh my lord, I love this. The contrast you've made between the two is amazing! Merlin's dark hair versus Arthur's light. Merlin's brightened skin versus Arthur's shadowed skin. And their eyes! I've fallen in love with those eyes.

The contrast between them is perfect- it's such a beautiful way to show they're really the "different sides of the same coin". Beautiful composition, too. A really striking piece.
