Description

Another small and quick paper test. But I still prefer my old A3 paper (I have to cut it in half => A4) that I've used for my latest drawings.
I don't know why, but at the moment I'm very uninspired and not in the mood to draw something new (besides Loki?). :undertheweather: The fact that my scanner hates me doesn't make it better... My scanner just hates to scan very dark/black parts and in the end everything is messed up. I think it was a bad decision to start another very dark drawing (I just wanted to draw a very dark picture as a challenge...). Missing You

Reference was a screencap of Loki (Tom Hiddleston) from a deleted scene of the movie "Thor" (2011).

Paper DIN A4 190g/m² (size of the drawing = 11,6cm x 13,6cm); Faber-Castell Polychromos artists' colour pencils, Copic Ciao marker, uni-ball Signo pigment ink um-153 white; time: ~4h

I think you did a good job at drawing a dark piece the traditional way too, perhaps it would have been easier with the inversion method, but this still looks good. I don’t know how much it’s you and how much it’s the reference, but I like how his eye appear blue (I guess it’s really drawn with grey pencil though) while the rest of the scene is soaked in yellow hues.

I commented about a white section at the top of a previous image. I think something similar happened here. I think you could have left out the darker streak to the right side of the image, keeping it a lighter brown/orange/yellow. Though thinking further about it I realize that it would make for a rather different picture. If the dark area was removed it would look more like a portrait, a construct. Here there is a hint of a real background, making it a scene that can be taken out of reality. Amazing how such small things can change a whole drawing.
