Stylized family portrait
For this stylized family portrait I drew figures using a 4H graphite pencil, then outlined the figures using Sakura permanent ink pens, and colored the figures using Carbothello pastel pencils. If I work on this again I would like to add more nuanced, even shading by wetting the pastel with water, and possibly adding additional color layers with Derwent Inktense water soluble permanent ink pencils, or Windsor & Newton watercolor pans.
This image is not based off of an actual photograph of my family, but rather it is based on showcasing the personalities of its individual members. For the two children I took reference images with similar expressions.
