Description
Find more of my pencil work on::~~~~~:~~~~~:~~~~~:~~~~~:~~~~~:
My newest pride and joy!
A double portrait of princess Zelda and Link.
Total size of each drawing:
1" x 1" / 25mm x 25mm / โฌ2.-
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
- kneaded eraser
- 2 reference images
- white gel + needle for eye shimmering

Time spent:

very impressive. I'm just starting out in expressing my artistic side, so your level of awesome is something to which I aspire. Your shading would be impressive if the pictures were 10" x 10". The fact that they are 1" x 1" just shows how truly phenomenal this drawing is. Thank you for sharing it.

Your talent is indescribable, as this has only further proven.
Also, while I beat myself up for never playing the games, I am in love with Zelda and Link. So that helped sway my decision.
I truly do love your portraits; I'm a manga artist, myself, but I'm working on changing that. You're my new role model, because you are simply the best realistic artist I've found.
And you drew Link. And Zelda.
Not only that, you drew them tiny and probably better than Nintendo ever could with a pencil.

Beautiful. Do you find it easier to draw miniatures than say letter paper size portraits?

I think a part of my brain just imploded from the scale of epic.
Great, now I can't do math. :<

I adore Twilight Princess, and you've really done an excellent job with it. Really, really impressed, especially as these are minis! Link's expression displays a subtle confidence not often seen in pictures, and they look so ALIVE, it's amazing. Excellent work!
