Artist's Comments

This was made with a technique where you rub burnt sienna oil paint onto a spray-fixed pencil drawing. You then use a kneaded eraser to remove the highlight areas and then apply colored pencil to that. I did this from a black-and-white internet reference, so I basically made up all of the color information myself. I'm proud of the way it turned out, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

wow. if this is the first deviation, i can't wait to see what comes next. i had never heard of this technique, and am now quite interested in it. this is quite lifelike, you got his persona and his EYES wonderfully, which is a bit diffucult, as so many people know who he is. i really enjoy the shading on his face and the right side of his hair. i think maybe the left side of the matting could be a bit cleaner though, and the visible lines in the black on the left bottem side are a bit distracting. but i really like this. :)

Good description of your technique, and a great illustration. I particularly like the hilights and the expression on his face -- he's alive, and that struck me when looking at the thumb size (always a good thing it it can live up in small size).

Great work, although I'm not that proficient in that particular style to give your any comments that could help you more than giving you some kudos :) I'm always impressed of what can be achieved with pencils. Keep up!

I love the technique you describe, I've never heard of something like that. Is it hard to do? I enjoy this very much, you captured his essence perfectly. this is so cool!!

The only difficult part is erasing fine details with the eraser. It doesn't keep its shape and you have to keep kneading it otherwise you'll just put oil paint back into the highlights... Otherwise, it's UBER-FUN (probably because I love colored pencil)! :hobbes:

yeah, 4th yr art at my school does a charcoal lifting like that, like a drawing in reverse.. a lot of smudges and stuff happens. :)

Eww.... I despise charcoal lifting. This process is MUCH easier. As long as you do it in one sitting, though, because if the oil paint dries before you finish: YOU IS SCREWED. :hobbes:
