Description Just finished it. o_o
9 idol drawings down, 1 to go.
I started questioning rather these drawings were worth my time, likely not.
It was good practice anyway... meh.
Used prismacolors on this.

Aww thank you
It was fun, I usually draw the idols every year and do the winner in color. Last year I did two in color because I wasn't super fond of the winner and preferred Adam. >_> But that's the way it happened.
I am really happy Lee won this year as well

Amazing! Is his beard really a different colour to his normal hair?
I have no idea how you do skin colours so well! Mine are hopeless, so I usually stick to lead or avoid them.

In the photo I used to draw him, his beard colors were a bit different. Haha. They're the same but had different colors here and there, mainly like a few little tiny streaks of blondeish looking colors.. I think I may have made them too different, but at least I captured the slight difference?

The skin colors here were pretty difficult.. I think I butchered them for some reason. For one, the flash was used when the reference photo was taken.. and that is a horrible thing when trying to draw a color drawing of someone. The shades of color kind of all appear flat and I tried my best not to let that happen... but the lighter colors of my drawings washed out when they were scanned ugh.
he looks way more pale than he should though. I had that problem. I used like a light peach color and shades of gray with the pencils trying to tone down the peach color a lot. Peach is a good skintone color but no one is THAT peachy looking. gray helps dull it and I have used gray on my colored pencil drawings on the last 3 I have drawn, and I have liked the way they turned out... so I've done that ever since then.

Perhaps he puts lighter streaks in his beard hair? Hehehe.
I've never even thought of using grey in a skin colour. I've yet to perfect that. I guess this is why I avoid colour portraits.
By the way, I really like your new picture ID!

You're not wasting your time! These drawings are completely great and can't understand how you're doing them so fast. I may not have commented on all of them, but I checked every one and they made me smile. It was the first year I completely watched AI and it was GREAT!

haha, I did them very quickly but that's because I put most of my time into them when I had to finish them.
I'm glad they made you smile though, that's great to hear!
Thank you!
