I figured I'd give this place a try! Some of you might remember me from the other place(s) from some of my pencil portraits! Say hi!

The Idris Elba portrait is on hold for a while as i have managed to get that rarest of things (for me at least), a commission!

Back to my roots in a way as one of the first larger drawings i ever did was of a road bike.

There is so much more to draw when they are still! 😂

Thank you!

"But look at my little arms! I can't press the fire button and jump at the same time!"

One year ago today I posted this miniature Toy Story photo I created using real figures, lighting and miniature sets...

It serves as a kind of watermark and also a "this is the stuff i've used to draw it"

Hahaha! I had yo look twice just then! Thank you!

Ron Fisher Artist @ronfisherartist.bsky.social · 13d

Thank you! In the flesh you see a lot more of the pencil strokes, the camera helps to smooth it out. But i try to make it look as close as possible to the reference if i can

Ron Fisher Artist @ronfisherartist.bsky.social · 13d

Thank you!

Ron Fisher Artist @ronfisherartist.bsky.social · 13d

If youre looking at doing portraits i highly recommend using a grid over a reference image (in fact that works for anything) its what i was taught by my brother and still do.

It helps get stuff in the right place and if it looks odd you can measure it.

Ron Fisher Artist @ronfisherartist.bsky.social · 13d

I use a lighter colour (white, different grades of grey, ivory, cream) as a base unless i need a pure version of the colour then i start with that on a test page to see what happens when they mix.

Its hard to explain in text but hope this helps a little!
