Star Wars C3PO
Star Wars C3PO
I have really wanted to try a drawing like this for quite some time, I really wanted to test my abilities and try to create a metallic object and as I love Star Wars and Fan Art I thought C3PO would be the perfect subject to draw. Equally, I discovered Strathmore Tone Tan Mixed Media series and being a huge fan of their Toned Tan and Grey paper so I was really excited to try this much tougher, sturdier paper.
I wanted to make sure that this was just a colored pencil piece and nothing else added such as Marker which would be my usual goto medium with colored pencils. I used Prismacolor Premier and Caran d’Ache Luminance. In theory, it doesn’t really make much sense to use both these pencils along side one an other and that is because one is highly lightfast and the other not so much so financially speaking it doesn’t make sense. However, for pure enjoyment and delight use whatever gives you the most pleasure as using both these pencils did for me. I am thrilled with the outcome of this piece and so impressed with the final result.
I have also created a speed drawing of this drawing which you can watch on The Art Gear Guide YouTube Channel, however, if you would like for this to be a Patreon Tutorial please let me know and I will add it to my list. Thank you all so much for your amazing comments, wonderful support and fantastic review ideas.
