Week 18- Portrait in Cold and Warm Colours

Having the past experience with the colour portraits, I was excited to bring those together and make a portrait with both warm and cold tones. 

In order to do this, I remembered that a friend of mine had a picture of himself taken in a place with different light sources of different temperatures. So with that in mind, I decided to use it as a reference.

I quickly made the sketch, again, trying to break the previous patterns.

 

After that, I started shading the face, being very careful with the colors that I chose. In order to get them right, I had to analyze my reference in detail, and observe the exact shades and colours that were there.

I am very happy with the final result. It did end up looking a bit cartoonish, most likely because of the bigger eyes, but I like that. 

For this drawing, I have used a range of colour pencils.
