Orym in pencil (but it’s really Procreate!) (Patreon)

New version:now with darker background and white highlights! 💚💚💚I'm utterly in love with this look.

I LOVED doing pencil portraits when I was younger - before there was the Internet (or at least, before I was aware of it) I used to buy the Star Wars Magazine and trawl it for good photos of, let’s face it, Mark Hamill. At some point, I stopped, because I moved away from close photo reference and towards the images in my own head, but pencil portraits still held a lot of appeal.

This Orym was referenced loosely from a photo of Danish model Mathias Lauridsen, who only needs a few adjustments to pass as Orym, and drawn with my pencil brushes, which are starting to make me really happy! Now I need to draw a critter or two to show off some of the coloured pencil properties. Throw me some ideas? 😊
