I usually don't like to use color... it's messy, it's relatively more time consuming (mostly cuz I don't have a lot of experience with it) and it requires a lot more concentration (for me anyway). Anywhere your eye lands on a drawing, instead of just thinking about the right tone value on a one-dimensional scale like a monotone piece, there is now a 2d plane of infinite colors to pick from. But I really enjoy the surreal vibrancy you can achieve, and as proficiency improves, mood that you can alter with colors. So once in a while I'll dive in to make sure I can still use color if I have to.

I hope you guys enjoy this video, and I hope you enjoy the music, it was a great find.

This is even more ridiculous than your usual drawing :0

This might aswell be a photo, you're extremely skilled! I hope you use color more often, it's really cool to see it come together.

Wow. I don't even find myself jealous, but instead amazed that this kind of talent exists.

Beautiful as always! Lately I've been logging way more hours working as a colorist than as a general illustrator, so it's nice to get some color inspiration from someone 10000x more skilled than me. Really fantastic.

I think this is by far your best one. It looks absolutely great with color. Might as well be a photograph.

This looks better than those Renaissance paintings you see from famous painters. Their's are good and all, but don't look as realistic as this one does imo.

5/5

These are always absolutely fantastic, and this one was no different. I really liked the use of pastel in it, using color is another direction, I'll like whatever you do though, so long as you do it well; you always do it well just to make sure that wasn't a question haha.

I opened the thread expecting the usual monochrome portrait, but it was definitely a shock seeing an amazing color piece right below a fairly humble description. Awesome job!
