My soft pastel drawing "Logan"

Hello dear Steemit art fans,

Finally I have weekend that means plenty of time to go back to my hobby and to create something for your (always very kind) judgment. Since I started to share my art with endless community members I feel myself like a child when I also spent hours on my drawings. I am happy when my drawings turn out how I want but there are moments when something does not work and even after many hours and couple of days, I just re-start from beginning as it is not always possible to repair. By the way, I love to repair my mistake, on one hand I think I am even glad sometimes when something is wrong on my drawing. Very often it happens with drawing portraits, it is always the distance between eyes and also the length of nose, so this moments I have to use a ruler.

Well, back to my Saturday drawing. Recently I read an interesting the movie-review of top movies 2017 that was posted by Hive account@hanshotfirst. I liked it very much, it is short description of what is it about and it is great to hear his opinion especially when he is sometimes writing what he expect from it and how it turned out. One of the movie that was included was “Logan”, that was the movie that left a big impression, it was not only action of X-men like when good guys win at the end. No, the main characters Logan and Prof. Xavier do not have the power that they did have before and at the end both die. Therefore, after reading that film review, I again recalled how I did feel after watching that movie and wanted to draw a portrait of Logan.

I used my pastel paper block “Daler-Rowney” and my soft pastel sticks as well as pastel pencils for fine line. Here is the final result:

As always every beginning is hard. After this initial sketch I was not sure if it will be successful or not, as always I have done few photos of process:

But I just continued and as always started with eyes, to tell the truth I love to draw blueish, greenish eyes, it works good with pastel pencils:

At this stage I tried to put a bit color on eye white to show up the vessels and the lips, as you see looks too much, this part of work I was doing last evening with a bit dimmed light, as it was still first layer of colors it was not too important how bright it is. That was the end of my yesterday session.

And this morning I have put more darker colors and of colors I needed to draw sharp knifes of his hand, at the end I was happy how my drawing was looking. Here is the last photo to show you how my working desk is looking like and what I ave used.

Thank you for joining me today and viewing my post :) I wish you all wonderful weekend and see you seen.
