yep, coloured pencils!! A big first for me

The ref photo Im using is on the actor Sam Heughan, he played the part of Geoff Wellum in the TV drama of First Light. The original is a screenshot from that TV show and is A4 in size, the drawing is A2.
If I do put it into next years GAvA show, I'll have to contact both the BBC and also Sam via his agent.

Still a long way to go yet...but having a ball using the colour

It already looks like a masterpiece Puff!
Especially love the reflection on the googles.

so your tracing over this?



I see alot of stuff like this on CGtalk where people just draw over real photos, and i don't get where the "art" comes in? If your just "drawing" an existing photo what's the point?

Nope, you see, the original is about 4" x 5" enlarged to A4, I use my EYE to copy the drawing { freehand } up to 18" x 16".....then I have to use my EYE again, to then lay the colours in and to get it looking the way I want { again slightly different form the original I used}....so, no tracing involved smile..oh and btw, thats the wrong photo smile

Thanks for the comments folks smile
