Day 2 of the coloured pencil artwork week. We have possibly shown this portrait by student Amelia Whiffin before, however it is such an amazing coloured pencil drawing – we just had to make sure our students and readers have all seen it! We have added the reference photo Amelia used as we understand how this will interest our budding artists. It will give an insight for some into the way Amelia translated various areas in pencil. Amelia has somehow achieved a softness in the skin tones on the mans face and improved on the harshness of the photo. She has built up her layers gradually to allow the white of the paper to shine through. The light on the mans face is simply beautiful and I know that our readers will be in as much in awe as I am with this piece.
Wow, Amelia. Just mindblowing!
😀 So glad you like Amelia’s work Julie!
