Olivia Benson

This is Olivia Benson (a character, not the actor) from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (SVU). I love that series and wanted to draw a female character, so here she is!

I discovered that my cheap scanner is not the best to scan pictures like this and the original is much better (as is the case with Harmon/Gibbs), but it's all I've got right now, so I'm sorry about that. Who knows, maybe some day I'll have an awesome power scanner that picks up every single grain in a drawing, but not now, unfortunately.

Did this with graphite pencils: HB B 4B 6B and 8B and colored pencils for the eyes.

NoName

Two more images! I got new copic markers this weekend, and I figured I'd try them out. I liked the result, but of course I need to improve big time. It's not near as good as I want it to be. Anyway, here they are!

This girl I tried the markers on. However, I tweaked this particular image in Photoshop, since the scan did the image no justice... She had an ear-job, since the original was way too small and too high up, and I smugded her skin. The scan showed too much grain where I colored the image with the Prismacolor pencils. Oh well. It looks okay, now, and I definitely need to practice more with those markers. They're fun, though!


Same girl. (I dubbed her NoName, since I wouldn't know her name, who knows, maybe she'll tell me some time, maybe she won't. Maybe the name NoName has a story within itself). Anyway, did this with my pens and Prisma's and greys for the background and kicked-up person, lol. I like how she's in color and the rest isn't... Maybe I'll do more of her.
