Dr Strange Portrait

My wife and I watched Dr Strange and we liked it! It was a fun film with a few personal moments made lighter with Marvel trademark humor. The magical premise would not have attracted us if not for Benedict Cumberbatch.

With this image I wanted to practice fast coloring. So I revisited color pencils, a medium I am familiar with. I started with the face skin, unconsciously treating color pencils as transparent medium, allowing the paper to show up. Then I got to darker parts (such as the hair and the robe) and made the mistake of treating color pencils as opaque medium. The dark areas look noticeably different (and worse, in my opinion). I am going to explore handling dark areas next time.

Let me know what you think in the comments.
