ArtVenture Contest: Portrait Of Nicolas Cage
Hello Steemains!
Today, I brought to you a new Artwork. It is the portrait of Nicolas Cage.
The drawing is my entry for @art-venture contest in which we were asked to draw our favourite movie star.
The contest was intiated by @stef1 and here is the link: https://steemit.com/steempress/@stef1/art-venturetraditionalartcontestactioncharacterwin20steem-tgwijwtxco
Nicholas Kim Coppola, is known professional as Nicholas Cage and he is an American Actor as well as a filmmaker.
Why he is my favourite is because he is just too good in acting. He does everything perfectly well. You will hardly see any fault that you would say this guy didn't act this area well. He is exceptional and gifted.
One of his movies I love most is Ghost Rider.
Here are my progress shots
Step 1
Sketching process
I wanted to get the resemblance first so I spent much time on the sketching. Made light strokes initially so as to correct any mistake if found.
Four lines were created to define the eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth.
Step 2
Building my forms
At this stage, I started building my forms by first working on his hairs.
Thereafter, I worked on his forehead and his eyes. I allowed my strokes to be seen and felt.
Step 3
The chins, nose and ears are completed as well as the mouth. I also worked on his neck.
Step 4
I worked on his shirt and created a solace background to bring out the beauty of the work.
I also made some finishing touches on the work.
Thank you
Great Portrait of Nic Cage!!! 😀 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great job. I like your technique, I really like the work of a simple ballpoint pen, it adds depth and volume to the picture.)
Thanks for appreciating my style and medium. Pen is a special tool to me.

Generally, what attracts me most about drawings is the expressiveness that the artist can capture in the eyes, and in your case you manage to fill this drawing with life with such a shocking look. How good it is to see the step by step of your drawing. Thank you for sharing high quality art on the platform!
