I did this piece last week, taking a couple of evenings to get it finished how I wanted.
This is Anton Yelchin who was in a number of films, Odd Thomas, Fright Night (remake) and Star Trek.

First one is a photo of the picture, so shows the most accurate look for the piece. The second is edited a little

Therm, this is amazing. The detail makes it feel like he's there! Can't say I have seen him, though I've watched lots of Star Trek, but feel like I have :)

Did you use a charcoal stick or pencil?

Love the way the grain of the paper gives it a very good "face" texture. Congratulations! :thumbup:

I used charcoal pencils. I do have the sticks as well but just find they are too messy. The pencils are bad enough. :p I'm a messy worker.
Anton was only in the Star Trek reboot movies, playing Ensign Chekov and there's a film coming out called Green Room, I think, he's in with Patrick Stewart.
Besides from Star Trek, I have only watched him in Fright Night as well.

That's a beautiful rendition of Mr. Yelchin, Emma!

Well done :clap:
Thank you, Star. I wanted to pay tribute to him.

Wow, that's quite impressive, you really excel in these portrait drawings! :2thumbs:

While I don't know this actor, from the first picture I am reminded of a young Martin Landau from Space 1999.
Thanks Ana. I added the picture that I based the drawing on. I skipped on the stubble detail in the original because I felt I might ruin it if I attempted stubble like this. I don't like doing men so much as women, mostly because of stubble or facial hair. It's so tricky.

You're very talented. What a lovely way to memorialize him.
Thank you. I was so shocked and sad last week. I'm not sure I'll be ready to see Beyond.

Ahh, nice drawing and he looks much more mature in your rendering, Emma. He also looks a little like Henry Cavill (Superman) on this print, don't you think?:)

Anton played a good Ensign Chekov in Star Trek.:)
Thanks. I keep thinking in the image he looked like Michael Fassbender. It's the eyes (the bottom of this page has the original image). I think having the hair cut out helps in making him look mature. The curly hair always added to his boyish charm.

Emma, I always love seeing your latest charcoal drawing creations! You know I am your biggest fan of face drawings :p. The expressions are always amazing, and this latest one is certainly no exception! :D Again, I have to say wow!
Thank you! :) I was worried his expression seemed really severe in this but it came out well, I think. :)

You are extremely talented, Emma and I absolutely LOVE seeing your drawings. This one is awesome!
Thank you, Deb. :)
