Description Here is the last I painting I did for Rankin's Hunger Magazine.
It's an illustration of Tilda Swinton (probably my favorite one out of the serious)

Painted on Rives bfk paper
done with: Watercolor
Prismacolor Pencil
Acrylics
Water-Soluble Oil Pastels

Digital touch ups and color correction, as well as a lot of digital color adjustment on her shirt.

ahh yeah i looked on their site and the product descriptions are a little confusing. i can't see where is specifically says "water-soluble Wax Pastel". i'm eager to try these. they have gotten a lot of great reviews. thank you so much for responding btw! you're a cool dude.

do you put your wax pastels on top of the color pencil?? or do you just use the wax pastels for the skin? you get the skin to look so silky smooth it's so impressive! your art is very inspiring and beautiful. thanks!

i dont get it... how do you get her skin so smooth and clear?? it looks so much like an oil painting. seriously, how did you do that? i paint since i was a kid and really try to improve my skills on that level. i'm a real fan. <3
