Colored pencils are excellent for detailed areas like the face and tie, allowing for layering and blending. Fine-tip markers can provide crisp lines for the suit and shirt. For a softer look, watercolor pencils can be used with a light touch.
Start with skin tones using a light brown or peach. Use a single color for the suit, like dark blue or gray. Color the shirt white or light blue. Keep the tie stripes simple with two contrasting colors. Take your time to stay within the lines.
Layer different shades of brown and peach for realistic skin tones, adding subtle highlights and shadows. Use deep blues or charcoal grays for the suit, employing cross-hatching for fabric texture. Experiment with blending colors on the tie for a more dynamic look. Consider a very light wash of color for the background to make the portrait stand out.
