More Crayon Houses (well, one more)

[tripperfunster]

I bought the Prang crayons (thanks for the suggestion, kittehkat!! I've always thought of crayons as very hard to draw with, but THEY ROCK! And dear Lord, they're so freakin' cheap! Two bucks! I also broke down and bought some chalk pastels, but I didn't try them yet.

Thanks again to elicia8 for the rockin' crayon tutorial. You've made a maniac out of me! I'm going to have to do a crayon Snape next!

I really love how this portrait is almost a caracature of him. Totally unintentional, but cool, nonetheless. :D

Good christ, this is beautiful. You're right--it does look somewhat like a caricature, but I think that makes it even better. I'm so impressed; I can't draw in this "illustration" style myself (all my stuff ends up looking photo-realistic), but this has such character. He's really got an amused, expectant look on his face, the smartypants. I can't tell if those eyes are kind or snarky, but my oh my, they are full of life. *can't get over it*

It's House! What else can I say? Fabulous. :)

Oh, and your coloring looks great. I know you were concerned (though I can't see why, lol).


PS: Chalk pastels! Oh man, what fun.

Well, I can't INTENTIONALLY work in an illustration style either, but I'll will take my mistakes and claim them as artistic brilliance! ;^)

I generally AIM for photo-realism, but only occasionally achieve it.

As for the expression, it's pretty much exactly what it was on the screen cap. I believe it was 'mildly amused in a Ican'tbelivewhataloseryouare sort of way.' :D
