Art: Tom Riddle

[honeybean]

Well really, who else would I draw?

After a four (?) year drawing hiatus, I dug out the chalk pastels and took a stab working with the old muse.

Ahhhhh, you've still got it, my friend. :) So happy to see a new drawing from you!

[honeybean]

Thank you! It was good to be drawing again. I've missed dear Tom.

Wow, GORGEOUS! And what we talked about on the phone, well I don't see it. Your pastel portraits have always impressed me to no end ♥

[honeybean]

Thank you, Hill. I erased and completely reworked that part, and fortunately the paper didn't wax up like I'd feared. I wish these portraits didn't take so dang long to do, though!

How long did it take you? I'd love to watch you do one sometime; see the whole process. Watching other artists work is always so inspiring and educational.

I'm not sure. 15 hours? I worked on it for about two weeks every other evening or so. I'd love to do progression shots - but 75% of my time is spent erasing/redoing/fixing things, so it would be more about how to fix errors than how to actually do it right the first time. There are a few artists I watch on DA who post progression pictures, and I agree - it's just fascinating.

Gorgeous! And I'm so happy to see you posted this in Fringeart. :D

[honeybean]

Thank you! It's been so long since I posted I had to look up the code to do it. :)
