Description
I came across this old photo
of an Old Vietnamese Gentleman
and thought "What an excellent
face to work with.", so, here is
my interpretation in Colored
Pencil of an amazing face.
The sketch wast accomplished
using Prismacolor Colored Pencils,
Prismacolor Verithin and Col-erace
Colored Pencils. The Photo Frame,
enhanced lighting, Soft Focus and
Bird with Flowers were done through
PSP8. The Paper used was the Dark
Gray Artagain by Strathmore!
I hope you enjoy this work as much
as I have enjoyed sketching it. As
always, I welcome and look forward
to your helpful comments!
Have a wonderful Day!...Cheryl

What a wonderful character to work with. Very few artists would have either the nerve, patience nor ideology to work from such a strong subject as that of an elderly man whose face and pose both reflect time and wisdom coupled with an air of sophistication and relaxed constitution. As I've said prior Cheryl - color is definitely your forte - and I cannot wait to see you begin painting with a program such as PSP8. Regardless of when that happens, every piece that you work on in colored pencils gives you that much greater practice and an increase in knowledge of color harmonies, depth and lightness/darkness. Bravo dear lady - you keep them coming. Excellent and I give it a you know what!
Excellent work, and one of my favorites of yours. The shading is just right and the wrinkles and pose really tell of a man deep in emotion...
beautiful and touching my dear... Love :)
You have definitely captured the Asian mystery of paper and it's connection to cellulose and wood. Just a glance and I know it's good work. More study and it comes alive.
