Hugh Laurieby `Cataclysm-X

Traditional Art / Drawings / Portraits & Figures

I love Hugh Laurie. Yes I do.

He's so incredibly talented. He can play music, write music, he's a very funny comedian and his role in House is awesome!

Anyway, it is finally done. I had a really hard time drawing this picture!! At some point I was drawing the hair, and it turned out like crap.
Then I did something I've never done before...:
I took some scissors.

Go me!

The funny thing is that I like this picture so much better this way. I think it has this extra feeling or something, more fun and playful than an usual headshot.

The reference picture was very light and not all that sharp, but remembered a lot of Hugh's features from watching all the episodes of House, so I drew them as good and precise as I could.

The shirt he was wearing was white-ish but it made the drawing look too pale, so I darkened it a lot!

And the hair... well, lets not talk about that

Stuff I used:
2H, H, HB, B & 2B mechanical pencils

Tissue for blending

kneaded & regular eraser

reference picture

scissors xD

A4 sized sketchbook paper

Time spent: approx 8 hours...?

Work in progress can be foind here!:
WIP 1
WIP 2

Dedicated to another 2 of my fellow House-fans friends: *callsignKateJones and ~SheldonSands. You two kick some serious butt!!
