This character from the series "Vikings" was quite difficult to do and the truth is that I am not used to drawing men and even less with as much beard as him, I have not seen this series but a friend asked me to do this drawing and I wanted to try it since It looked quite complicated and I liked the idea of experiencing something new, so I did an internet search to be able to do this portrait, I got a lot of photos but the easiest one for me was this one and in a matter of time I started to make the drawing.
Then I began to guide myself through the photo and to draw part of the sketch, locating the position of eyes, mouth, face, hair, once I had everything in place, I began to shape it, starting with the right eye.
The beard was quite difficult, I did not like how it looked, I gave it several touches until I could straighten it a bit but it still had something strange but I did not want to overload the drawing with so much beard modification either, so I kept going until I finished the whole portrait.
With the help of a cotton swab I began to blur the skin and add some shadows.
Once finished, I wanted to intensify the dark areas so using the photo of my drawing I began to add shadows and highlights using the Medibang Paint application, next we will see these changes.
The materials i used were:
- 2B, 7B 8B pencil
- Medibang paint
- Cotton swab
Los materiales que usé fueron:
Lapices 2B, 7B, 8B
