Description

I've desired for a Spock portrait long ago, and now the time has come. This is the first occasion when I use a tool other than plain graphite pencils. I've never tried color drawing before at all. I was afraid of it, but this portrait turned out better than I thought.
-----
Tools:
Pastel chalks (from LIDL

), Charcoal pencil (Derwent) on GREEN paper. Why? Spock's blood is green, and it seemed a good idea to try out how'd green blood seen through the caucasian skin.
-----
Scene:
Captain Kirk disappears while trying to rescue the USS Defiant. Spock must accept the fact that his friend is no longer alive.
Episode 3x09, The Tholian Web

Impact

Everything about this piece is spot-on and it's by far one of the best of Spock that I've ever seen. You've captured the expression on his face and the hidden emotion in his eyes perfectly, and your shading and colouring is done with a serious amount of skill, if I had to find any fault with this I'd have to say you could've made the top of the drawing a bit lighter so it would be easier to see the top of Spock's head, but that really is nothing and doesn't change the impact this drawing has on me, you have an amazingi gift and this is absolutly stunning, congratulations!
