Colored pencils are excellent for the intricate details on the robes, face, and accessories, allowing for fine lines and blending. Fine-tipped markers or gel pens can be used for the small patterns and metallic accents on the halo and toys. For larger robe sections and background, soft pastels or watercolor pencils could offer a smooth, iconic finish.
Start with the man's robes, using broad strokes in larger sections. Use a consistent light source for shading. For the Rubik's Cube, assign a single color to each face without blending. Keep the headphones a solid, even tone.
Experiment with analogous color schemes for the robes to create a rich, layered effect, using at least three shades. Apply cross-hatching or stippling on the background to create texture. Use precise detailing for the Rubik's Cube grid and the fidget toy's mechanism, adding subtle highlights and shadows for dimension. Consider a metallic finish for the halo.
