Full color,
step by step
Full color drawing
in burnished Prismacolor.
Pencils used:
Prismacolor
( With Prismacolor, you can create pictures that rivals the look
of an oil painting.)
Technique:
Burnishing
( Burnishing takes a lot more time than the layering technique, but at
any rate, the time invested is worth it when you see the outcome.)
Surface:
Acid-free
cream-colored paper (I selected this color paper, because it will
add life to the completed drawing and harmonize with the used colors).
|
|
|
I draw a
light outline of the face
and all of
the features with graphite.
|

I started
the coloring with the eyes.
I used white,
Limepeel, Dark Brown,
Dark Umber,
black and cream.
For a shinier
look I burnished
the iris
with cream. Around the eyes
I used henna,
peach, Light Peach,
Sienna Brown.
For the shadow areas
was used
Terra Cotta and Dark Brown
up into the
eyebrown area. The eyebrowns
were
colored with Dark Brown
and Dark
Umber. |
|
|
|
|
|
I then moved
down to the nose with
Dark Umber
& Sienna Brown and applied
the shadow
shapes there. When I felt that
the nose
was accurate, I burnished it with
the Light
Peach. |
|
|
|
|
|
The next
is the mouth. I began with a thin
Dark Brown
shadow line between the lips.
For the upper
lip I applied Sienna Brown,
henna and
Dark Brown and for the lower
one peach,
Light Peach, white, henna
and Dark
Umber. |
|
|
|
|
|
To complete
the face I used Sienna Brown,
Terra Cotta,
henna. For the light parts
(highlights)
I used white and Light Peach.
The shadow
areas and the wrinkles were
finished
with Dark Brown and Dark Umber. |
|
|
|
|
|
Up to the
hair. To draw the hair I applied
Dark Brown,
Dark Umber, Terra Cotta,
Light Umber
and white. I was sure to follow
the direction
of the hair itself. |
|
|
|
|
|
Well, the
head is finished.
I only needed
to draw the shirt.
For it I
used white, Dark Umber and Henna.
To lighting
I added more white and
to shadow
more Dark Umber.
I also
finished his T-shirt with these colors. |
|
|
|
|
|
To give a
more completed look for my drawing,
I used some
color behind it. I applied Goldenrod,
bronze and
a little Limepeel in the shading also,
to help pick
up the colors of the eyes. |
