Description
started a colored pencil drawing of Dave Matthews. I'm not really familiar working with colored pencils so, not really great right now haha...using a reference picture from a calendar I have and in it Dave's screaming his head off. I just liked the colors in the photo and just wanted to give it a shot..*here's the whole progress
prisma color pencils on cream colored paper...
this is without question one of the hardest drawings I've tried to do...Dave screaming like this would be hard to capture successully with just a pencil...but me being me, had to try it with colored pencils...I envy those who can use colored pencils like nothing...so I definitely have a new respect for those with that chosen medium *bows down*
