I have been getting addicted to South Korean girl and boy groups lately (re: I keep posting k-pop fanarts). It's crazy; I don't even understand what their songs were about. The thing I love about them for sure was how I couldn't get these songs out of my head (even when I don't understand the lyrics). The girl members of girl groups were also really pretty and cute, and don't get me started on the boys.
I never knew a time would come and I would be crushing on a k-pop boy (I'd always been crushing crazily on anime characters, which is, as an afterthought, worse). This 'k-pop boy' is Mark Tuan.
Mark is the American-born Taiwanese main rapper-lead dancer of the South Korean boy group GOT7. I've been crazy over this guy since I first watched GOT7's music video entitled Just Right.
At the left, you can see a GIF of the drawing process. This is the first time ever that I documented the process to a traditional drawing. Drawn on a 90 gsm paper with my buddies 3.3 mm core Faber-Castell colored pencils, GOT7 Mark writes a history on my life as the only other guy I drew besides my nephews.
Sketching the structure. It has always been a challenge to me. It is always so hard to get the proportions right, even at the base sketch, and I always made sure that my strokes were extraextra light that my hands shook. After the base, I finally start with the main features. Then...
Commence with the colors.
I almost always start with the face. I think this is to make sure that I wouldn't waste any more time in case it wouldn't look relatively alike with the reference. In fact, I immediately got the eyes wrong -- the irises were too big compared to the reference, but over all, I think he looked quite like Mark Tuan.
Once upon a time...
Mirror, mirror please tell her
Scale, please tell her too
That she doesn’t need to change anything
That she’s pretty and perfect just as she is right now

...kidding. I began the whole k-pop addiction because of my friends Golda (yes, that's her name, as in gold with A) and @jhazz (she's currently busy with thesis, hence, no posts). They made me watch this [then] really weird music video about an insecure girl and Thumbelina versions of seven really, really good-looking boys.
The song was entitled Just Right, and apparently talks about how the girl shouldn't be insecure of how she looks in the first place, because for the singer/s (that is, GOT7), she is just right.
I remember crushing instantly on this handsome rapper (who I later learned was Mark). The song was always in my head then, even the dance! It was really cute, you should check it out.
Finally, before I end this post, it would be awesome if you check out my friend/college buddy/fellow unemployed @travelingmercies. She takes awesome pictures of places she goes to and sunsets.
plzz follow me and upvote me
Wow! these are really cool.
I don't blame you... LOL. K-Pop is really catchy xD
You should listen to Ryan Higa (Niga Higa on Youtube). He has made parody K-Pop songs :D
HAHAHA. It bothers me that I grew addicted to it so much. You watch Ryan Higa?! I LOVE RYAN. He's so funny and witty and I love his friends. ❤️️ And the k-pop parody was so hilarious. I'm a self-professed BgA fangirl hahahaha.
Oh yea? Well... further proof that we are twins xD
I LOVE Ryan Higa too... lol.

No further comment your honor. Clueless on Korean Girl bands. Lol
Sandara Park? No? HAHAHAHA. And just lookie at this cutie huhu.
I can't even determine if it's a "he" or a "she". 😂😂😂
Hah. He's prettier than you and he has no pores! LOL. 😂😂😂
Nyaahhh! Koreans have great skin. That's why people are obsessed with their skin products.
It hurts to know that a man can be "prettier" than girls, but then it's the unescapable truth. Lol
