Description
First portrait with coloured pencils!After a while I really regretted deciding to draw the pattern on his shirt. I shall avoid it in the future ._. Natural textures are much more fun.
About 17 hours. Faber castell colour pencils & Derwent graphite pencils on A4 Canson Bristol Board.
Step by step: [link] (Done a few updates to this since I made it, like darkening his neck and parts of his clothing, so it will look a bit different)
WIPs: [link] [link]
Reference used, form the Kami no Shizuku (神の雫) photo book. (I've used references from that photo book a lot, actually xD)

I can imagine that the shirt pattern might not have been much fun to draw.. but I think it turned out great! It's one of those subtle things that no one notices unless something's gone wrong Another thing I really like it the hair, I think you've captured the soft texture very well.
Really nice work!

This image is stunning. So realistic, yet you can still tell it's beautiful pencil work. I love the details, especially the shirt. You did a marvelous job on this deviation.

Wow, this is great! I love that its both photorealistic, but not so photorealistic that you lose the pencil strokes. Love the dimention you've given this with your shading and shadows. And i think the pattern looks fine. ^_^ Well done!

I like Derwent and Canson, too; You keep good company!
It looks great. Don't you illustrate T-Shirt designs? If so, how did you start that?

You did such a wonderful job in making this picture look so realistic. I love how you did his vest, the texture is awesome. You are a wiz with color pencils!

fantastisk fint. Skuggningen är min favorit i den här bilden, vissa ställen i skjorta är makalösa och ser äkta ut. fortsätt med färgläggningen - den är redan bra. kan bara bli superbra!
