Day 43 Robert Downey Jr ART

[tripperfunster]

This was done in pencil crayon, all drawn in little, tiny circles. It actually looks better in rl. For some reason, I was really having touble getting all the values with the camera. Usually, tweaking the levels in photoshop fixes it, but today, not so much.

I find his face super hard to draw, but doing the multi-multi-layer build up in pencils helped. It's almost more like sculpting than drawing. And man, I just love how he smiles with his WHOLE DAMN FACE. Had to draw it.

I love your art so fecking much!!

And you are right, when he laughs or smiles, his face has ALL the impressions.

I still remember adding you way back when and thinking your art was really awesome and you still get better and better! I mean, he REALLY looks like RDJ, you know, not like he's supposed to look like him, but more like he is him. ♥

Aw, thank you very much! What a wonderful thing to say! <3

As they say on Tumblr, "Sir, you should be proud of your face." I love the way you captured how he smiles with his entire face, the way his eyes crinkle up like that. :-)

Great capture of that smile! I love that smile so much - you are right about his entire face doing things and it's glorious to look at!
In fact, I love how expressive he is, period. So good for FEELS :-)

Thank you! And oh god yes, between those eyes, that hair and that FACE, SO MANY DAMN FEELS!

Whoops. Here in Canada, we call coloured pencils Pencil Crayons. I HAVE done some actual crayola crayon portraits.

You certainly don't get the level of detail that you do with coloured pencils.

I would love that Downey saw that, you're every day better!!!!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Ha! Oh god, I would be horrified! (well, better this than some of the porn!) :D

Nobody rocks crow's feet like RDJ!. ❤ What a fabulous way to do a portrait! I'll bet this is spectacular in RL (it looks amazing here).

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

It's much more .. natural looking in rl. Less orange and softer. mmmm softer.

Sadly, much to big to shove into my pants. ;)
