Description
Woo, finally found a place in New Zealand that sells prismacolors
and open stock at that, for $2.50 each Gordon Harris, Newmarket, Auckland (they deserve the free advertising).So I bought all the pinks and peaches, some replacement pencils and a few other cool colours.
I'd been wanting to do a variation on this photo [link] by (used with permission) and decided to make the hair a bit more exciting, almost like it was glowing which gives a bit of an unreal feel to it.
21x21cm, upwards of 16 hours.

this is wonderful
if i may ask, how do you achieve such nice textures with coloured pencils?
unless i misread your artist's comments

Hmm, which textures are you referring to? I do admit I have much more difficulty getting coloured pencil smooth than graphite, it tends to show up the grain of the paper.

mainly the skin and eyes. that's the problem i've always had with coloured pencils, they don't go down as smooth as i'd like them too. you seem to be able to use them very well without them looking to "drawn" or grainy.

Nice work. It has a very strange feel to it. It's real, but not really.

Yeah, I wanted her hair to look almost as if it were glowing, so it would look a bit unreal.
