Nosferatu Drawing

[ibroughtyounightmares]

Here's a drawing I finished a little while ago. It's based on a crazy sculpture by Artist Mike Hill but i tweaked the color and texture to make it my own. done with Prismacolor colored pencils on translucent vellum paper. please no one use it as reference for a tattoo (already had someone do so) as i would still really like to tattoo it myself. just looking for any feedback!

Great textures and colours! What's the benefit of the translucent paper, never heard of that?

The translucent vellum paper has a slight waxiness to the surface which allows you to blend the colors more so than textured paper (at least the ones I've used in the past). That bieng said its a gift and a curse, you have to work extremely slow and methodically, very light layers of color and build up the values. I've found in a couple of areas I applied to much color and that waxiness to the paper began to clump up and almost reject any further application. Thanks dudes
