Hello, how are this oil pastel portrait I am going to show is what I drew last year, and I forgot that I drew this one, so I was practicing portraits using oil pastel before, and that time I realized that I needed to draw more of it, and one of the portraits that I drew is T.O.P and that time he was known as Thanos in Squid Game. But I’ve known him as T.O.P from Big Bang. Now he is a soloist and doing fine.

Materials I Used:

200 Gsm Paper

Oil Pastels

Craft Time!

Prepare all the materials on the desk, and then I draw the line art of the portrait by eyeballing it, but I should’ve drawn it with pencil first LOL.

I start with the skin tone first. I like to layer where the shadows are.

Something is missing from the portrait, and then I remembered. I like to outline the line art first, but I got so excited that I did it in this part.

And then I intensified the shadow by layering it with darker shades.

In the reference, he had yellowish and pinkish skin due to the background, so I decided to follow that.

I almost forgot to add attention to his hair, so I did his hair is a mix of black and bluish purplish color. For the highlight of the skin, I like to use an accent highlight, like using a pastel light green as it and to not waste time, I decided to leave the uncolored part for the highlights.

As I said earlier, his background is pinkish pastel, so I did that and finalized the portrait. I used a dark color to make the portrait have dimension.
