This is another picture that I had fun doing, although I’m not happy with it completely. I do still like it, though. XD It’s based on this picture and this one, that were both taken during A-Team photoshoots for NBC, but it's not exactly like them, and as the title indicates, it’s stylised. It takes up most of a piece of cardstock… I left out the text on the shirt because I can never do text very well, and didn’t want to ruin the picture.
The whole thing was drawn on cardstock with my favourite—the Sakura Micron, size 01. The HAT…is coloured in with Copic Sketch 110 Special black, and the darker areas are just where I hatched and smudged with my pen. I decided to go that route to make it look smoother and different than the rest, and I like the effect I achieved. The jacket, face, and shirt were all shaded in varying degrees with charcoal pencils (General’s brand) and Q-tips. The area all around was done with a digital screentone pack. It isn’t perfect, but I like it. I used the Burn Tool on a few areas of the ‘screentone’ to make it seem like shadows, and used them just a touch on his eyebrows because they didn’t scan quite dark enough.
It isn’t a perfect likeness, but I had fun with it, and artistically overall I am proud of it. Even though I’d really like it to be more anatomically correct and look more like him. I’ll just have to try harder the next time to be accurate...Because I'll need such for a huge surprise I have coming up.
That's incredible! I'm in awe of your drawing skills! It doesn't matter that there's no lettering on the shirt, even without the title you'd be able to tell which picture it was based on. Everything looks spot on!
