Description It's November 5th which means it's BoA's 20th Birthday (21 in Korea)! BoA 31 is dedicated to celebrating BoA's birthday so I wanted to do something alittle different and creative! Lucky for me I finished it in time! I was interested in doing something with color pen like I did for BoA's birthday last year with BoA 21. But that drawing was still an exact copy of a ref photo from a cd album, this time I wanted to use my own choice of colors. I chose to draw from a ref photo from one of her most recent cd single releases Key of Heart. I've always used a pencil outline for color pen drawings. But this time I decided to try the entire drawing only using color pen from start to finish just like how I would do black biro pen drawings! No felt tip pen markers to help shade quicker either! It's probably one of the hardest drawings I have ever done from her facial expression, to the posture with both hands holding the glass drink to her detailed top! That's before I even mention the background! I've never really done many drawings with a proper background so I thought this time I would do that.
After doing 30 BoA drawings I don't want to just continue just doing normal portraits of her. I've tried everything I could from using mixed media, drawn from as many different facial expressions, angles and poses. It's time to do some BoA drawings which have my own flavor to them! The next few BoA drawings will be totally different to what I normally do and I'm really excited about what I come up with!
I hope you all like it!

Thanks! My previous color pen drawings had a pencil outline. This time I wanted to try it without a pencil to see waht would happen. I picked one of the hardest pics I could find! Lucky for me it turned out ok!

I think it's more then a hobby for me knowing how much time I spend on drawing! I just wish I could draw quicker then I would have alot more time to do other things!

I know how that goes - I really like experimenting with different pens and pencils - and I'm often surprised by the outcome.

Coralay In reply to MLBOA [2006-11-18 14:02:21 +0000 UTC]

Hey Man, my studies are going really really well, it's soo great! I have a finished drawing in my drawer that I will only be able to scan when i get back, it's not one of my best, but it is just very hard for me to get some time to draw here. I intend to go crazy on drawing during the vacation though!

Wow you are just amazing. I love the uniquness of this drawing. Great job on the shading. You are getting better with BoA faces but her eyes look too solid but it's still very good. My birthday is tomorrow (10th) and my brother's b-day was on th 5th like BoAs' lol random.

I really like your description for this drawing, and I think it's a great choice to do something different. Your pen work has always been great and really unique and this one is quite amazing. I think you did so well, and the fact that you did it all in pen just shows how talented you are. Really beautiful and a fave for sure
The background is really good.. it all really do resemlance summer and the colours of the rainbow.
