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!

I really like how Link looks here. He looks MUCH better than in the nintendo portrait of him.

Thank you Sarah! It was hard to make him match with Zelda (style-wise), but I'm glad it all worked out find in the end

wow, you must keep your pencil EXTREMELY sharp to be able to do some of those details, like the reflection in the eyeball, jeeze, your amazing. (or maybe you just have giant hands and a giant pencil?)
