Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe)



        As promised, right after finishing Hermione, I started filling in my sketch of Harry Potter. 
Progress report:
Look-on
 The black shirt, eyes, and lips are done first...
 Then his face...
 This version has a slightly darker skin tone in the cheek area.
 Then the nose...
 The neck...
 The entire shirt...
The background (indigo blue is the color; I wrote it down to remember)...
A slight change in the ear and more background...
Completed background, fixed neck shadowing, added shadows to the eye area, and enhancement to the scar and nose...
Parts of the hair (I used a combination of black, light umber, and dark umber, with white for highlights)... 
 Completed hair.
Complete background, added shadows to the forehead, added color and highlights to hair, signature...

        And we're done! This attempt came out better, then Emma Watson when it comes to the hair. However, I couldn't achieve the same even skin tone, and where Emma had a darker skin tone, Daniel Radcliffe ended up with a lighter skin tone. Overall, I am happy with it.
Time Taken: 7 days (July 24, 25, 31; August 1, 2, 3, 7, 2017)

And now.....

        Hello, my friends! How is your break been? Mine is full of eraser shavings, books, and a day with cows (don't ask). I am going to fill you in on all that I have failed to post until now. Speaking of which, I apologize for keeping the suspense up, but with the end of the school year, and summer plans, I couldn't post regularly. Here are my new masterpieces. Please comment on how I can fix them!

A Surprise for Tanisha!

Image
        This canvas is a Christmas gift for my cousin Tanisha. I asked her questions, and used her favorite animal (unicorns) and her favorite colors (pink and purple) to create an acrylic canvas.          This picture depicts the silhouette of a unicorn rearing up. The spirals of her horn and her hooves are highlighted with silver acrylic, whereas the ground and the unicorn itself is black. The sky is a sunset, with the pink sky blending up to purple. I used white acrylic to create three four-point stars on top of her horn. I used a fan brush to create grass for the ground. Due to lighting, the horn and the stars are not clearly visible. I will get a better picture.

How I Draw: Brown Hair

        In this How I Draw, I will explain the wizardry of hair. Hair, along with the face, is the most essential part of a portrait. Getting the right feel and depth is very precarious to do, but it isn't impossible. I will be showing the four basic hair colors in four posts.          This post will be for the most simplest of them all: brown hair. I know there are many shades of brown hair, but this will be for dark brown hair. For a darker and lighter shades, change the colors respectively.          The colors used for this project are: -Black                           -Dark Brown -Light Umber -Sienna Brown -Ginger Root           When drawing hair, you always want to go lightest to darkest, because hair is all about the layers. In this case, start by stroking in the Ginger Root, then use the arrays of brown to add shadows, highlights, and other dimensions. Black should be blocked in for the darkest of shadows. For hair, I recommend blending the the colorles
