PENCIL SKETCH OF THIERRY HENRY

I so wish I had a lot to post right now, this is all I’ve got for now. Will have to work double time to keep up, it’s the yuletide season, merry Christmas and happy New Year in advance. I’m a die-hard fan of Arsenal football club and a true fan of the legend known as “Thierry Henry”. The Frenchman aided the team in the historical year of the 49 unbeaten runs in the English Premiership League. Used 8B pencil grade for shading, on an A3catridge paper. I’m usually criticized about my shadings being light, not my fault. I guess it’s my signature, most times I feel I’m defiling the face if I press harder with the soft pencil. Still waiting on my Faber-castell color pencils to arrive so I could start paining as soon as possible. (Don’t mind crayons for now though).  

CHARCOAL PENCIL ART OF 'NEYMAR'

This was my first ever made portrait using the grid system, I have always and will always be in love with free-hand sketch with ink. but you have to admit, grid does make everything easier. While searching for a reference photo,I came across an article on one of my favorite athlete, 'Neymar'. The star Brazilian soccer winger that currently plays for Barcelona, really liked the picture they used, I used charcoal pencil and a bit of 2B pencil on A3 paper. Was fun all the way, never did sold it, kept it for myself.
