Here is a portrait of the lead singer of the band Culture Club!
Let me tell you a bit about the drawing.
Materials:
I used Prismacolor Premier pencils, Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils, Derwent pencils and some regular graphite pencils for the initial sketch. To blend the graphite for the initial sketch, I used a tortillon. Some people like to use their fingers to smudge the graphite, (Like me) and its quite useful if you want to cover larger areas. I have only just discovered that I can use tissue paper to smudge the graphite! It works SO well, and I highly recommend using it. As usual I used a regular eraser from Woolworth's. I think its from Faber-Castell actually. I also used a Prismacolor Colorless Blender Marker for Boy George's lips. (I will be doing a review on the Prismacolor Marker later on,)
Techniques:
Makeup: To blend the makeup, I first put down the colours I was using, and then used a white Prismacolor pencil on top.
I also used this same technique for the Jaguar in my first post. :)
Hair: I am not very experienced in drawing hair as I am drawing hair in graphite, but I am learning. I used quite a few different colours for the hair such as, Brown, Dark Brown, Blue,Orange Purple and Red. Keep in mind that they are not the actual names of the colours, because I can't remember what they are called! :D I used long pencil strokes for the longer parts of the hair, and quick short strokes for the shorter parts.
Skin: As Boy George is wearing makeup, his skin is very pale, so I only used a very small amount of colour for his face. If you look closely you can see a slight bit of colour.
Clothes: For his clothes, I used a black Prismacolor and a black Faber-Castell pencil. I also used a blue pencil for the cuff parts (Whatever you call them) on the sleeves.
I hope you liked my drawing, and if you have any feedback please feel free to leave a comment down below! :) By the way, if any of you have any advice on drawing hair in coloured pencil, I would highly appreciate it!
Thanks for reading,
Zoe
