Sustained Investigation #10

This project is the result of random inspiration that hit me one night. Usually I don't act on my urges but I was bored so I decided to do this one. I also wanted more portrait practice because I recently discovered that I like drawing people and I wanted to get better at it. This is the biggest drawing I've attempted so far and its probably going to take me a long time because I work at a very slow pace. This is something completely different for me and even though it doesn't fit my inquiry question it's going to grow my skill with both colored pencils and human portraits.

I am using colored pencils on this piece. I also recently discovered that I really enjoy working with colored pencils so I want more practice with them so I can one day draw very photorealistic.

I'm not sure how long its going to take me to complete this project but it will probably keep me busy for a while. So far it's looking like one of my best pieces to date but we'll have to see when its all done. This piece is the combination of two different photos that I combined together in photoshop so I'd have a reference. What I wanted to do was do my own take on an album cover. I chose to make it realistic and change a few things around but it still fits the theme. I am excited to keep working on this drawing a see how it turns out.
