Well, I finished it. And doom on me, because I totally forgot who it was that supplied the image for me so I could do this in the first place. You know who you are, and should you find this thread and step forward, you're getting a giant glomp and an exalt from me, you Goddess, you supreme Goddess you. "Yes, my first Cillian-related artwork, done in color pencils for my Art III class. I am very, very proud of this, because it's the second color pencil piece I've ever done in this manner, and also because, duh, it's of my favorite actor, who I respect and adore immensly. The project had to include a chair and some sort of reading referrance, so, after begging some of the nice girls on the Cillian fan forum I'm part of, they sent me a perfect image. Sure, it's a record and leans more towards music, but my art teacher could plainly see how bad I wanted to draw Cillian, so she let it slip. ^^ I apologize for the lack of resemblances to our respected Mr. Murphy throughout his face (especially that nose and the awkward-ness of his eyes, ugh), but I was rushed by my art teacher for the due date (which was yesterday, ugh). She obviously wasn't here to give me advice and help me along, so this is how it shall stay, sadly. *sigh* Oh well. I'm sure the next one will be better. I've done as best as I could on this one. Side Note: Finding that pale skin tone was a pain in the patoot, and the same goes for the shadows." (Larger/Original pic location here: www.deviantart.com/deviation/23127515/)

Danke!
Prismacolor of course, but some of those tones are just too rich, so some others as well. I tried out all sorts of brands, since every one is just a little bit different. But those rich colors you see are a result of using a colorless blender (which I immensly regret using on the jeans, since the texture may have been better without it and if I had had enough time to build color).

Nope, it hasn't been graded yet. My art teacher's taking her sweet lil' time with it, urgh. I hope I do get a good grade on it . . . Well, probably a few points later because, without explaination, she tricked me and apparently is WAS turned in late. . . . *GASP* *tackles Peaches987* OH MY GOODNESS, I totally forgot about that!! Urgh, I TOLD myself when I started working on it that I would send a copy to him . . . but I don't know the address, nor do I know where I could find it . . . *breaks into sobs*
