¡Hello Dears! ❤
Today I return to the drawing to explain a style that I really love, they are mixed techniques, combined to create collages. I will explain it better, there are actors or artists who characterize many characters throughout their careers. These artists I like to create Collages with their most iconic characterizations, and try to make each character look in a different style, to illustrate this technique we have first a drawing of our beloved Johnny Depp , famous for giving life to complex characters and full of madness. We're going to take four of his most famous characters as “Edward Scissorhands”, “Willy Wonka”, “Jack Sparrow” and "The Hatter"
Search
We look for a lot of photos trying to make the characters appear in front, and we play with the parts until we get the result that we like the most. I chose to take a very basic form of four pictures to compose the face, and to make it as harmonious as possible, take the two characters wearing hats and place them on the top and the rest at the bottom.
Assembly
Personally I think the most complicated part is this part of the assembly, then the part of the drawing itself is simpler. (If you ask me I can make a post about the assembly of this type of drawings, leave your comments).
Style
As always, using water markers, this time I did not use the watercolor technique but rather more defined, because the idea was for the characters to look a little more realistic, this will allow them to be more easily identifiable, that, in the long run is the idea with this type of drawings.
An important fact is that when the pencil is made the face of the character is not going to look very natural, remember that, although they are the same factions there are many things that vary from one character to another, nothing really happens, at the end the face will take shape when each character has taken his place, don't worry.
Part 1 “Willy Wonka”
I started with the top part that corresponds to Willy Wonka , the peculiar director of a Chocolatería, in the famous film " Charlie and the Chocolate Factory " , in this part of the drawing It is important to give depth to the hat and be careful when using very light shades, almost gray, for the skin, because it is a very pale character.
Part 2 “The Hatter”
The next table to be made is the top right, which corresponds to our beloved The Hatter , of the award-winning Film "Alice in Wonderland" , in this it was given more protagonism to the eye of this personage and to the hair that is what characterizes it or it makes it more showy.
Part 3 “Jack Sparrow”
We went down to the bottom right with the incorrigible Jack Sparrow of the successful "Pirates of the Caribbean" saga. With him we generated a contrast, because his skin is the only one that is very tanned, besides having those unmistakable dreadlocks.
Part 5 “Edward Scissorhands”
To finish we give life to the last painting that has a character that not everyone will recognize for being one of the first films to be the blockbuster of the actor, it is Edward Scissorhands , of the film with the same name. In this the attention remains on the disheveled black hair and the scars.
Something that gives life to the drawing is to put colorful backgrounds that give contrast and separation to each painting, this will visually make the viewer separate the images.
Here is another example of this style, it is a fragmented portrait of Michael Jackson that at the top represents the artist in one of his greatest hits singing "Smooth Criminal" in a black and white style that goes very well with the original image, in the upper right we see the contrast with the artist's beginnings with his first worldwide success "Thriller" and finally in the bottom take the promotional image of "Xscape" your second postmortem album.
This is all for today dears, Remember ...
Follow my steps…
Really cool. Dry dynamic.
