Flaming ArtistThis drawing was executed using PrismaColor pencils, medium gray and black Tombo Brush Pens, and a Presto Jumbo Correction Pen. It done last month as part of a series where I was experimenting with trying to achieve painterly effects using colored pencils. As with yesterday’s of an image created over a year ago, I was trying to depict white body hair on dark skin, a variation on the “silver fox” archetype.
This is a Prismacolor Pencil sketch of my ex-lover Enrique, done from memory. I also used a medium gray Tombo Brush Pen for laying in the shadow areas, and judicious use of a Presto! Jumbo Correction Pen for the white areas. I was trying for a painterly effect; in such cases it’s useful to use paint. However, here, I didn’t want pure white (for the most part), so would draw back over it with Prismacolor.
