Portraits

This was a freelance job I have had forever, and the hardest part was that they had to be 3x2 inches. SMALL! It's really hard to get the detail I wanted using this oil and prisma technique. The best thing I got out of this little project was getting to work in a medium I haven't touched for years. -Niff

Yeah, Niff. Good work in spite of limitations. What is prisma?

Dig the textural feeling... but I can't help but wonder what she's smelling. o.O

Prisma is a colored pencil Ian...but very soft.

Looks great, Niff...

So you did them in pencil, and then went over them with....?

Wow, I love the look of these. The details like the shine of the hair at such a small scale, just so impressive.

Thanks everyone-

I did them in pencil, spray fixed them, then went over them with oil, then added colored pencil (prisma) over that.
I think I still may add some white acrylic for shine on eyes, nose or hair.
