Here is the complete set!

This is the progress of how I typically work in this style:

I first sketch in the loose details using a light box and once that's done. Transfer it over to good paper (Strathmore Toned Paper) and begin the shading. This process usually takes a day or two. Once I'm done I start on the highlights using white colored pencil (Prismacolor) which again takes a day or two to complete.

What takes me the longest is the skin tones which I use undertones to figure that part out. Each of them have the same unique background style that separates one another. I also take regards to their favorite color (I presume) and make it blend together.

The second longest process is the texture and shading of the colors. It takes maybe a week or month depending on how my wrist feels from a long day of coloring. After that I render everything and match the contrast and highlights to seem unison.

Usually, each portrait takes about two and a half months but with complications with work it makes it much harder to work around. That was the main reason it took a very long time.

Medium: Graphite Pencil (undertones), White Pencil (highlights), Prismacolor Pencil, Gelly Pen

Surface: Strathmore Toned Paper
