Almost one week has gone by without updating my blog...ughh...it's so frustrating when life gets in the way and leaves me with so little time to be on HIVE. But what is the use of complaining, right?
This is one of the portraits I drew recently. Another portrait of my art muse and a part of my Jang Hyuk portrait series. You can find the rest of the portraits from this series in this post: Jang Hyuk Portrait Series | Jang Hyuk As Prince BangWon In My Country: The New Age
People asked me, why do I keep drawing the same person repeatedly? Don't I feel bored with my subject? No, I never feel bored drawing him. As to why, well, he is my artistic inspiration, and he is the only person who inspired me to keep drawing when I was stuck in the dreaded art block for almost a couple of years. It doesn't matter if he doesn't know of my existence, or if he does and doesn't care. I just love drawing his face. Period. And I don't have to explain it further.
❤️ The Portrait ❤️
The reference image of this portrait is probably from his movie, Gangneung. But the image was heavily edited so I am not so sure. It could also be from his movie, The Killer. Anyway, here is the link to the source image.
Materials I used:
- 165gsm acid-free paper
- Mars Lumograph Black pencils
- Derwent Graphic pencils
- Black marker
- Black pen
- Black and silver color pencils
- Sakura White Gelly Roll pen
And the progress photos:
And here is the completed portrait. I really love the outcome. I was practicing using different tonal/values because that is my main weakness. A good handle on tones/values is absolutely crucial for realist art. A good eye for changes in values will really help everything look more realistic and not fall into the trap of drawing wash-out porcelain skin. Values create the soul of the drawing and I hope I achieved that in this portrait.
What do you think of this portrait?
That's it for now. If you read this far, thank you. I appreciate it so much! Kindly give me a follow if you like my content. I mostly write about making art, life musing, and our mundane yet charming family life here in Klang Valley, Malaysia.

For sure if he would see that portrait of him, he would be happy and will appreciate your work. You're always good at it. Keep it up.
I tagged him in all of his portrait over on Instagram. He reposted fanarts once in a blue moon and I hope one of mine gets chosen someday. Thank you for the lovely comment 😘
Oh hopefully someday, yours will be chosen and this will be a great reward for your effort.
