Darth Vader | Colored pencils

Welcome to the dark side of the drawing dear friends.

For starters I'm a super fan of Star Wars, I've seen all the movies and almost all the series. So today I bring you one of my favorite works with colored pencils, this is the third work I do with this technique, what makes this drawing special is that the two previous works were drawings that I had made in my course ( do not worry that later I will share with you) where I had advice, support and instruction on how to work with this technique.

This is special because it was a job where I had to take all my previous knowledge and use them, defend myself on my own, dedicate time apart from the course and the university, which I feel proud of myself because although they do not believe it I am a person very nervous when it comes to drawing, the results of my work are super cool but before I got to that result I had to get frustrated, afraid of making mistakes and not getting the result I wanted, they are fears that I have to work for this Same reason I try as much as I can to work on my own and challenge myself to overcome these fears.

The materials I used for this drawing were the following:

1. Black illustration cardboard
2. Colored pencils, Prismacolor
3. Toothbrush
4. Cotton
5. Diffuser # 2 and # 4, and cleanser
6. Pencil sharpener, boom paper sheet, eraser and pencil 2H
7. White cold paint

As I said because it was the third job I had done with this technique it was very easy, and it was not as hard or complicated as the other two, this was very simple and simple to do. I leave several photos where you can see how little by little the drawing was taking shape. I started with a white layer so that the colors could be fixed on the cardboard, then what I did was to blur the colors with the cotton and sometimes with the smudge, and finally I took the white paint, I mixed it with a little of water and together with the toothbrush I made several sprinkles to the drawing (covering certain parts of the drawing) in order to achieve the stars.
