Black & White Portrait: CHARCOALS!

            Hello there, human. I've got more portraits. Now here's some of my "amateur" portraits of some of the famous people:

Apo Whang-od: Charcoal on Canson Sketchpad

       Apo Whang-od Oggays a Traditional Filipino Artist from Buscalan, Tinglayan, Kalinga. She's the last "mambabatok" or tattoo artist of the Butbut village and is considered to be one of the oldest "Mambabatok". 

      

       I was fascinated by her traditional inks on the skin of her visitors in the Kalinga Province. I was going to give this portrait to her when I planned to go there and inked by her. Unfortunately, some priorities came up. I'll be posting my tatts here if I ever got the chance to visit her.

Bob Marley: Charcoal on Canson Sketchpad

         Bob Marley, a free spirited artist from Jamaica, I'm a fan of him not by his songs but by his principles in life and how he view life. :D

Jimi Hendrix:Charcoal on Canson Sketchpad

        Jimi Hendrix,  "The greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music". according to Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Amplifies the rock and roll music in the 50's and 60' because of his skills in using the electric guitar.

Chester Bennington: Charcoal on Vellum board

Chester Bennington or Chester B. is the lead vocalist of Linkin Park. I'm always captivated by his unique vocals. Well, one of my favorite band is Linkin Park so I decided to paint him as a tribute. Rock on Chester. I gave this one to a friend because he's a fan of Linkin Park.

Experiment with watercolor pencil

          Here's my old original character design using watercolor pencil. He's my "alter person" , adventurer, meek and modern.
          I posted this late because I thought I wont be able to update my blog, but after almost 4 years, here I am. And I'm back.
     
          I used Faber Castell Water color pencil for this character.

Painting from Reference

Two of the main characters from the movie Lord of the Rings Trilogy. I used powdered charcoal,                        water color pencil, and water color.

Galadriel - Lady of the Light reference from google

I used charcoal on the hair of Galadriel, water color on the eyes and colored pencils on some area of the headdress/ crown.

Gandalf the grey and the reference from google

As for Gandalf, watercolor on the eyes and on the gray hair using detailing brush number zero (0). some classic colored pencil on the cheeks, but most of the area is powdered charcoal. 

Watercolor study

I used watercolor tubes on this art piece found in an art shop. I considered concentrated-- less water            as a technique to achieve oil painting-like texture.

Still life of a guitar
