Description

Subject: Ron Perlman as HellBoy
Size: 8”x10”
Medium: Coffee
Event: Emerald City Comicon (ECCC) 2014

Each coffee portrait is first sketched in pencil using a photo reference. Once the portrait has been sketched, it is lightly inked with either black Staedtler pigment liners or black Microns. After inking, the pencil is then erased and the portrait is completed with coffee. Utilizing instant coffee, different tones and depths of color can be achieved to create warm sepia toned portraits.

Note: By the time I got to working on this portrait I had already done a half dozen in less than two weeks and was beginning to feel really burnt out. The under sketch done in ink was way sketchier and rougher than all the others and I laid down the base coffee shadows really quickly. In the end it turned out to be one of my favorites, even though I might have spent less time on it than some of the others.
