Taking a little time to finish a piece from a project series started last year with more from one of my favourite films, The Fifth Element. This has been a real 'off and on' again project. After doing 4 other pictures from the film last year I started this but wasn't in the mood to finish it at the time so I put it to one side. I've come back to it through the last few months, doing a little bit here.
Wanting to push myself a little more, I thought it was time to tackle a two character piece and that damn 'multipass' scene just jumped in there. Not entirely happy with the layering on their faces but just couldn't get quite the right light shade and in the end just said 'To hell with it - time for a little artistic license' - lol. I think maybe just my enthusiasm for this one just wasn't there are the time but my need to finish the project had me coming back to get it sorted. So, finally completed. I'm wondering if my Korben / Vito piece will ever get beyond the sketch stage!
Done with polychromos pencils and built up in layers, utilising my pressure application and layering techniques, the picture consists of 32 colours.
Korben's eyes were done with white, dark sepia and bistre.
His eyebrows were done with caput mortuum and dark sepia.
His nose was done with white, light flesh, dark sepia and brown ochre (light).
His mouth was done with white, medium flesh, light flesh, dark sepia and brown ochre (light).
His ear was done with white, light flesh, brown ochre (light) and burnt umber.
His skin was done with white, ivory, medium flesh, light flesh, dark sepia, brown ochre (light), warm grey 4 and burnt umber.
His hair was done with white, raw umber and burnt umber.
His clothes were done with white, light orange, scarlet red, bistre, brown ochre (light), black, cold grey 6, warm grey 1, warm grey 4 and warm grey 5.
Leeloo's eyes were done with white, may green, dark sepia and warm grey 1.

Her nose was done with white, medium flesh, light flesh black and burnt umber.
Her mouth was done with white, medium flesh, light flesh, dark sepia and brown ochre (light).

Finally, the garbage wall was done with white, cream, medium flesh, magenta, violet, light phthalo blue, light blue, dark indigo, caput mortuum, raw umber, black, warm grey 3, warm grey 4 and warm grey 5.
