This "Victorian Gentlemen" is from a tutorial by Karen Campbell for Awesome Art School. This 3/4 portrait was a challenge to draw. As I drew it, following Karen Campbell, I really wasn't sure how well it would come out.
I drew this gent in my Ohuhu Marker sketch book with my Graphgear 1000 Pentel Pencil. I did the outlines with Molotow fineliners. I tried to continue and color him with the Ohuhu Markers, but I don't have many of the colors Karen used. I substituted some colors and also used a different brand (Copic Markers). I blended Prismacolor Pencils into the hair and a Gelly Roll pen for highlights around the "Victorian Gentlemen."
I was surprised and happy with how well I did!
