Description I'm going overseas next Sunday so I'll be away and inactive for almost 2 months. I hope I can finish this drawing before I go..

When I saw Ben Barnes in Prince Caspian role I thought he's hot but since I'm not a fan of the movie I didn't feel like drawing him. I was so thrilled to know he got the leading role in the movie 'The picture of Dorian Gray', one of my fav gothic novels! Thought I always picture Dorian Gray in the book to be a pretty boy with blond hair I don't mind this darker, hotter version of him!

Now to the drawing.. I use this [link] as the ref.

My WIP is always friggin ugly, that's why I've never posted any of them!! I don't know how to finish one part or one section of a drawing at a time. I always start with the whole face and my drawing never look decent until I'm close to the finish line.

However, people keep asking me how do I start my drawing and how I do the shading and it's so hard to explain with words. So there you go..

And don't worry if the drawing look messy at this stage because that's how all of my drawings looked when I started them.

You can take this as my shading tutorial, if you find it useful..that's it..

Any question please feel free to ask.

Wow you put so much into just the start! I would get frustrated! And then give up That's why I think photography is way easier, but not as rewarding. Great work!

From the first dot up until this stage was quite a tedious and frustrating work for sure but what I have to do after this stage are far more relaxing.
