Ah, a fellow freckly red-head! The textures in this are fantastic and I swear I can almost hear the music. Beautiful! Do you use watercolor colored pencils or just regular colored pencils.

Thank you! Just regular dry coloured pencils in this case. Prismacolor, thick lead. I do use watercolour at times, but haven't experimented with watercolour pencils in a while. Thanks again for the lovely comments!

Not as long as I would have expected. It was all down to using various techniques together - I'll post some progress photos in my scraps soon, to give people an idea of how to do it.

everything about this is great, and I like the fact that you drew the guitar so accurately

Thank you! I think it's my homage to the instrument - if I can't play it, I can at least draw it.

Two things that I love most β€”guitar and colored pencils. You've done a marvelous job on this piece, the colors and the subtle blending are rendered so well. Excellent work

theperian In reply to bleuie [2011-07-25 02:10:33 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! Yes, the guitar was my favourite bit, as well. I started the image with it, and once it was done it was a great incentive to finish the rest. Even though it is a portrait, I can't help but feel the instrument is the subject of it.

Thank you! As do I. (I was always rather envious of it, as a matter of fact - the picture is of my brother. )

How did he react when he saw this?

I'm not quite sure, yet. I'll be giving it to him on his birthday.

Haha... I hope so! That's always the most unsettling aspect of portraiture; giving it to the subject.

kamioto-furin In reply to theperian [2011-08-01 01:53:56 +0000 UTC]

I can see that! The anxiety... whether the subject will like it or not. And then the reactions, the comments...

But you don't need to worry. Your work was great.
