Is this zb1 ricky or ateez seonghwa?
I drew ricky.... my sister looked at it and said "ohhh you drew seonghwa"... my face went still... ill try drawing seonghwa maybe... im not good with faces. ricky is my favourite and I look at him a lot... so he's the easiest subject to draw for me to get used to faces... sighs... does this really look like park seonghwa?
•••○°●•• i used pencil crayons and then added wax crayons to the shirt bc I needed to be done with it. I used a gell pen for the outline... [sighs]
Enjoy!
When I first started drawing, I struggled a lot with capturing faces accurately. It’s funny how one person can see something totally different than you intend, like my sister thinking my Ricky sketch looked like Park Seonghwa. This made me realize how subtle details can change a portrait’s impression. Using pencil crayons helped me add soft shading while wax crayons gave the shirt a fun texture. I also outlined with a gel pen to bring definition. These mixed media techniques made the piece more dynamic and engaging. If you’re trying to improve portrait drawing, experimenting with different materials might give your work more life. Also, focusing on a favorite subject like Ricky helped me practice more consistently. His features became easier to recognize and replicate the more I drew him. If you want to improve your art, finding a muse you enjoy can keep you motivated. I plan to try drawing Park Seonghwa next to challenge myself and see if I can capture his look better. Sharing these progressions helped me see my growth and made me appreciate the nuances in each K-pop idol’s face even more.
