BTS: V (Taehyung) Drawing Step by Step
Step 1: Draw the First Eye
Start by carefully drawing the first eye. Focus on the shape of the eyelid, iris, pupil, and eyelashes. Use colored pencils to gradually build the eye color and surrounding skin tones, keeping the details as realistic as possible.
Step 2: Develop the Skin Around the Eye and Nose
Continue developing the skin around the eye and begin drawing the nose. Layer different skin tones gradually to create natural highlights and shadows. Pay close attention to the subtle color changes around the eye and nose.
Step 3: Draw the Other Eye
Next, draw the second eye and develop the surrounding facial features. Carefully match the proportions and colors of both eyes so that the portrait looks natural and balanced.
Step 4: Complete the Skin and Lips
Continue adding layers of colored pencil to complete the skin on the face. Develop the highlights and shadows around the cheeks, nose, and chin. Then carefully draw and color the lips, using different shades to create a realistic appearance.
Step 5: Draw the Hair
Start drawing the hair by following the direction and shape of each section. Use several dark and light colors to create layers of hair. Build the darker areas gradually while leaving highlights to give the hair a natural shine.
Step 6: Complete the Hair and Ear
Refine the hairstyle by adding more individual strands and darker areas. Then complete the ear and other details around the side of the head. Continue layering colors until the entire head looks detailed and realistic.
Step 7: Draw the Neck, Shoulders, and Hand
Extend the portrait downward by drawing the neck, shoulders, and hand. Add the appropriate skin tones and shadows to connect these areas naturally with the face and head.
Step 8: Refine the Entire Drawing
Finally, carefully review the whole portrait and refine every part of the drawing. Add more layers of colored pencil and combine different colors to strengthen the shadows, highlights, skin tones, hair, eyes, lips, and clothing. Make small corrections and sharpen the details to give the finished portrait a clean, realistic, and detailed appearance.
Final Thoughts
As you can see, this is an advanced colored-pencil portrait drawing that requires a lot of patience and careful color blending. To achieve a high level of realism, you need to practice regularly, especially mixing and layering different colors to create natural skin tones, shadows, and highlights.
The more you practice observing colors and combining them carefully, the better your colored-pencil portraits will become.
