Description Everything will be okay. Everything will be alright. ♥

My first try with coloured pencils - what dya think? The picture does it no justice at all but I will work on updating it with a better quality image ^_^

It's something I've been working on for my art coursework, I took the picture at the Kerrang! Relentless Tour, it's of me and ~lostinstinct

Tools Used: A pack of standard coloured pencils, standard eraser
Time Taken: Around 8 hours
Size: A4
Reference:

Please share your thoughts and critiques

Edit 02/06/10 - Updated with a better photo and I added a border and shizz

the difference in the tow pics makes it look much better.. if it were exactly the same as the original pic.. there wouldn't be any "feeling" ^_^

addictedtogerardway [2010-05-31 10:22:28 +0000 UTC]

gorgeous
but maybe a wider range of colours would make it look more realistic? i have a 24 pack from WHSmith's standard range. y'know, the ones which say "the spectrum sings" on them. they're pretty good and not too oily or waxy. trust me, you don't want ones which are waxy... fail.

thanks
yeah I was a bit short on colours, the ones I was using were pretty cheap and crappy >.< Didn't blend so well and they were kinda waxy D:
So next time I'll nick some expensive ones from the art office at school xx

Whoa, nice to see you trying coloured pencils. Near darn perfect, though maybe your friend's face shape is just a teensy bit off.
Also - You went on K! Relentless Tour?!? You lucky bugger.

I'm not obssessed with Sean Smith's cuteness. Honest!

I have a poster of him next to my bed. Along with many other awesome people. (Closest to my head being Kurt Cobain and JEPH HOWARD *omnomnom*)

That would be weird and creppy but probably quite cool.

GingerNutt In reply to MagicalGreenPen [2010-06-04 09:57:14 +0000 UTC]

And I've never heard of Jeph Howard but I just googled him and YUM!!
