i never expected this would turn out as well as it did, that's for sure....i'm very pleased with the outcome! :boogie:

first person i've EVER done in coloured pencils, and it's also the first black person i've drawn too :aww:
idris elba is super attractive! especially as heimdall :heart:

anyway, hope you like it! :love:

i dedicate this to =pbird12 since she is master of colour on black paper in my book, and she also raves about the pablos enough that i bought some :iconlaughingplz:

used:
9x12 strathmore artagain black paper
caran d'ache pablo pencils
lyra blender
white gel pen

EDIT: i've since blended the left (his right) side of the helmet more so it looks a bit smoother. no photo of it though and i'm too lazy to take one haha

Heimdallr is not black, he is the whitest god of all in Norse mythology. He is the father of blue eyed and blonde people.
