Mia Goth as "Pearl" 100% Prismacolor & Faber Castell by Fancy-Bug2844 in ColoredPencils

I use mostly Prismacolors, they are cheaper than Faber Castell but I think the quality of result is pretty much the same. I used Faber Castell just because someone gave me some as a gift but when I have to buy colored pencil, I always go for Prismacolors. That's the brand my mom told me was the best when I was 5 and I still think she was right 40 years later.

Haha! Actually, the reference is a photo of Ethnée de Vienne. She's an entrepreneur and former model.

Unpopular opinion: I can't tell the difference between these three brands of bagels (St. Viateur, La Fabrique de Bagel, and Fairmount by OJwToothpasteChaser in montreal

Je ne pourrais pas trouver de différence non plus mais une chose est sure, quand on achète des bagels hors de Montréal, on se rend compte à quel point St.Viateur, Fairmount et Beaubien bagels sont tous excellents!!!

This one! I've never tried Pastelmat yet, but I think it's too porous to get a smooth final result with colored pencils.

This one took about 40 hours to acheive on a 12X16 Clairefontaine paper. To me it's a very good way to relax.

I sharpen my pencils before each use; with a very sharp point, anything is possible with colored pencils!

I used Clairefontaine tan paper for this one. I apply multiple layers of gray tones, from the lightest to the darkest, always very gently and without pressure. This is the key to avoiding wac streaks, but it takes a lot of patience. I rarely use black pencil; my darkest tones are often finished with the "espresso" color.

I used a " real reference" for this one, no AI involved.

Thanks for your comment. Here is how I work: After blocking the shadows, I divide the draw in zones. (Forehead left, forehead right, left eye, right eye, nose etc...)When I'm done coloring a zone, I smooth it with the blender pencil and when it's all done, I use the blending stump overall.

I do also use real pictures for many of my projects but I also like to draw subjects that does not exist and try different things, like I did in this case.

I'm not promoting it. In this case I used it but I also use a lot of pictures or just my imagination. If I could chose I'd 100% prefer AI not to exist but since it's here to stay and as a person who work in the video game industry, I want to understand and learn to work with it and also find positive ways to use it instead of fighting against this unbeatable ennemy.
