Technique Experiment

This is Jim Parsons, who plays Sheldon Cooper on the popular television show The Big Bang Theory. At college we were assigned a week project to draw the same person using different techniques, I found this picture and thought it would be both challenging and interesting to reproduce it using different techniques.

Pencil Portrait


This was part of a project at college where we had to use a technique to transform an iconic person. I decided to use Roy Lichtenstein's pop art technique on Lady Gaga, which I believe was highly effective and suits her very well

Charcoal Portrait

This is a side portrait of one of my fellow classmates, this was entirely done by using charcoal, I'm still new to using charcoal but I believe this turned out considerably well.

Continuous Line Drawing Landscape

This is a scene outside of my college which I drew using the Continuous Line technique, this technique requires the pen never to leave the paper. . Trying to keep everything to scale and in line with each other was difficult but I had a lot of fun experimenting with this technique.
