Colin Farrell in pencil

Artist's Comments

Well, I haven't done a pencil drawing in a while. Heck- I haven't FINISHED a picture in a while!!! So yeah, I desided to have more of a play around with the old smudge stick and see what happened. That was my aim for the drawing- practise. Honest ^^

Anyways, I'm a BIG fan od spy type movies, as anyone that knows me well would know, and Minority Report is in this classifacation as far as I'm concerned cause its about a guy trying to clear his name of a crime he 'will' do in the future by finding the minority report, and to do this, he has to do some very snoopy, spy type stuff :3 Fun fun ^^ I've watched it a good 5 or more times and still not sick of it [emoticon] Anyways, Colin plays this government guy that is investigating the precons (psychic people that can see the future- future murders) to see if the deal with them is legit, and he's determined to find out any holes in their system. Is he a friend or foe though? You have to watch the movie to find that out, but damn- he's pretty damn hot, so I thought I'd give him a go as my test monkey ^^

He wasn't an easy guy to draw- in fact, he was on the difficult side- damn it!! See, he has these adorable droopy eyes that are REALLY hard to not make tired looking, but at the same time, kinda droopy. His eyebrows were a pain too, cause they flick up for an innocent look, but he looked like he was a wimpering puppy whe I drew them ^^; Help me- this guy does not want to be drawn right!!! I got this in the end anyways, and I'm slowly getting use to the smudge sticks. I'm getting it smoother ever time I use them [emoticon] Damn idiot that posted this pic gave it a differnt background though, so I had to grey it out [emoticon] I was actually gonna do a back ground till then [emoticon]

Anyways. Colin goodness. Someone give him a cuddle before I burst into tears from his puppydog eyes ^^;

Wow, it's so awesome! [emoticon]
You're so good with realism. It looks so much like professional photography, composition wise. I love the roughness of the background and the detailing of his skin. His eyes are really well done too. I think it's one of your best works. Way to go! [emoticon]

Oh- its definetly not my best work!! XD Pencil just looks impressive. As for photography, its cause hes hanging out in the bottom 1/3 of the page. That's why it looks right. and there wouldn't be half of this detail without a referance, but I'm learning for the next pic ^^ The scanner has taken alot of the shading out though- you can't see the light stuff around his hand and face....

Soozie! This is amazing! I can't believe how perfect you made him look. I know what you are talking about with the eyes. That is the same problem I was having with Orlando Bloom's eyes when I drew him. You remember that? He has these incredibly "sad" eyes and it makes him appear like he is tired too. So believe me, I know exactly what you mean there. All in all though, you have done such a magnificent job on him. Your shading looks wonderful. You always give your drawings so much dimension with yur shading. I totally envy you for that. And I wouldn't worry too much about the background. I think it looks rather nice just having it darkened. It makes him stand out more to the eye. Much love.

The shading isn't too hard- the biggest thing is reckonising what should be black and what should be white, and then shadeeverything in between to compliment it (Ok- I admit it. It sounds harder if I explain it ^^; ) I remember that Orolando pic too- he's another droopy eyed wonder. WHAT IS IT WITH THE DROOPY LOOK?! *stabbys the droopyness* Its sooooo hard to replicate!!!

Not a fighter... except in Alexander (the movie) I think... He usually plays characters of non good stature- played Bullseye in Daredevil.. I don't consider that fighter though. Athletic maybe... *shrug*

I didn't know either till I looked for pics on him... He looks really different bald... He makes a freaky Bullseye though!! He was well cast. Too bad the movie was a pushover- like This is Spiderman- with BEN AFLICK playing DAREDEVIL!!! The girls go oooooh but everyone groans at the corney scenes that are totally Get over it material ^^;

XD You would not BELIEVE what people can miss if they aren't told [emoticon] The idea is to suck the veiwer into the world, and mak them believe that these people really are these characters. It's like Clark Kent taking off the glasses and becoming Superman. *noone (clears throat)* reckonises him [emoticon] A good actor should be like this

O_x I sware this looks like a photograph (picture taken) when you look at it on the front page lol. It's that Real O_x. Heee, he looks about ready to cry with those eyes of his looking so glass-like. That raised eyebrow too kinda adds more personality to him as well, I can see why you'd melt over him XD lol. Very nice work, even showed this to my sis, and she was like "OMG that looks like the real thing, *her jaw drops" lol. *Claps* [emoticon]

Yeah... I've gotta work on the photorealism side of it... My pencils always come out close, but there is always dead give aways when it's close up. I donno- I kinda like the roughness of the 9B pencils [emoticon] Its textured, and feels generally good to me [emoticon] Alot of people mix thier pencils with harder ones, but I don't. Just watch you don't smudge it is my moto ^^ That look- its hard to describe... I like to think of it as more contemplative, interested looking. He was this close to being tired thouhg!! *motions with fingers*

*hides* not the master!! You don't watch who I watch at Deviantart. I am FAR from realistic. You don't suck either- you have your style and it suits you.

Until then umm- thanks? ^^

Colin himself? I unfortunatley can't sell HIM XD I do draw commissions, but I don't like to sell origanal art usually- I put a peice of myself into every picture. Unless I don't put effort in, I tent to not to want my pencils to wander too far.

$20 for a full detailed character drawing though- I'm good for it [emoticon] I wont do full scenes though- I barely have time for my own art and people approaching me in person ^^; I need to lose some of that life I have...
