This is a long-overdue gift for *akaLilith, who creates incredible pencil drawings, and is a great role model for artists. She dedicated this astonishing drawing to me, of Rafael Nadal [link] , so I happily returned the favour. I hope you like it, Kanisa.
This coloured drawing here is made up of several ref pics, so kind of reinvented in a way (which means I did a lot of guessing. ). I simply loved his Spanish team outfit. He makes tennis such a cool sport, and always be no. 1 in my opinion. For the background, I wanted to use a clay colour for a bit of symbolism.
And I managed to draw this is 2 weeks! That must be a new record for me.

Mainly Prismacolors and Faber Castell. Black ball point pen for some of the hair. Work in progress: [link] Ref pics used.
Thank you also to ~rivetspoon for giving me advice about scanning in coloured drawings.
Oh my god. This is just too perfect. Gaaahhh. There is so much talent in this! Not only is it my favorite tennis player, but you've drawn this so impeccably!
