Day 43 Robert Downey Jr ART

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.

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.
