Stracraft II - Jim Raynor


Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the most challenging drawing by pencil I've done in my life so far. The funny thing is that the reason behind it being so complicated is the fact that it might be the most realistic portrait I've done so far with the sweat and specially all the wrinkles  It's funny because it's not even a real person o r a picture, but it's a pencil drawing of a computer drawing. Although if you thing about it, this is Jim Raynor plain an simple, while actors and such have always make up to cover the imperfections and their pictures might even have been through a little photoshopping. Actually, I think this is the first time I draw wrinkles and  my second attempt to draw beard. By the way, I went a little bit crazy on the hair and it isn't like on the original because for some reason if I didn't do a little on my own it looked fake.
He's Jim Raynor, one of my friend's favourite character from "Starcraft". So I made this drawing for him on his birthday and I wanted to be very accurate because this is one of my best friends right now. I hope you like it because, guys, I'm soooo proud of this one you can't even imagine. I wanted to draw it for so long, and I finally got the excuse.
By the way, notice that the hardest drawing is still the Apollo V, that was made by pen, and the hardest art project is, and probably will always be because of its complexity and time I had to spare on it, the Pan from "Pan's Labyrinth" made by acrylics.

Made with: H2 (sketch), HB and Mechanical Pencil (details on helmet), B2 (shadows on helmet and face, features, sweat, any type of hair...), B3 (eyes, little touches on the eye-browns), B5 (thick shadows inside helmet), and Janus 2160 (hologram and blue details).
