Artist's Comments

Im having some serious internet connection problems again,so It might take a day or two to reply to your comments or questions you might have,thank you for your understanding. :aww:

It was about time I finally submitted a traditional piece,I have been drawing as long as I remember,and for those who didnt knew,I actually started here showcasing only my traditional art,until I discovered photomanipulation. Old watcher might remember some of my portraits from back then ^^

Anyway this is a recent work,a gift for my dear friend Ivana :hug:


INFO ;
Absolutely gorgeous Milo Ventimiglia (more known as Peter P. from Heroes) :drool:
I tried to make him as realistic as I could,I changed his face tons of time until I finally got it right.

Used ;
-extremely rough Hammer textured paper (A4).
I usually use that for watercolors but I didnt have anything else at the time :giggle: Usually I try to soften the paper texture after scanning to make the work look as soft as possible but I love the way it looks here,it enriches the skin texture.

-2H, HB, H, 2B,3B,6B pencils

-Eraser,eraser pencil for highlights and white gel pen for really light highlights (like the eye reflection)

-Tissues and q-tips for blening

-Photoshop for editing after scanning. My scanner sucks big time so i need to adjust the contrast and brightness in ps.
I also changed the background from gray to almost black,since I wanted to give the piece more contrast.Used black soft round brush and burn tool for that. Since some hair highlights (ends) were lost when darkening the back I used dodge tool to make them stand out again.
Sign added digitally too.

-Reference shot - actually from a magazine - but I found it online eventually [link]

:love:

This is absolutely great and very realistic. I think you really captured his eyes.
