My newest pride and joy!


A double portrait of princess Zelda and Link.

Total size of each drawing:
1" x 1" / 25mm x 25mm / €2.-


Back in the NES era Zelda was the first game I liked to play.
...Good old times!

While Zelda was the last portrait I've drawn in 2011, Link's portrait was the first of 2012. I used two references for the poses, but changed their facial appearances to my heart's content.



I spent about half an hour on placing the eye shimmering with white gel by using a needle. In between every heartbeat my hand was steady enough to press the needle (+ white gel) on paper. But even then I hit the needle 0.3mm too high or too low for about 2 or 3 times, and I had to start all over again.

The pencil in the picture is to show how small they really are. Both portraits were, as usual, drawn with mechanical pencils.



I'm thinking about selling these 2 portraits, so if you're interested in buying them, don't hesitate to send me a note!


:~~~~~:~~~~~:~~~~~:~~~~~:~~~~~:


Stuff used:
- 2H, H, HB, B 0.3mm mechanical pencils
- 2B 0.5mm mechanical pencil
- Schoellershammer natural paper

Time spent:
10 hours for Zelda

That's amazing. I tried miniature once, which makes this seem even more impossible! Incredible

This is honestly my favorite drawing of Link I have ever seen. The Twilight Princess model of both Link and Zelda have been my favorite since the game came out!

You should be blind from staring at something so small and trying to get the details just right, but I will say, its really amazing

In the medieval times, monks did get blind by drawing miniature illustrations by candlelight I won't make that mistake!
