Pencil Art From Artensya – Anime Ignite Artist Spotlight

@artensyaΒ creates some unbelievable pencilΒ art

HisΒ DabiΒ fromΒ BokuΒ NoΒ Hero Academia looks surreal. Despite blue being the only color to complement the pencil shades.Β In fact, it is this scintillating blue emanating fromΒ Dabi’sΒ hands. Also the reflection in his eyes that makes it difficult for usΒ to believe inΒ hisΒ art expertise. EspeciallyΒ once you learn ofΒ hisΒ humbleΒ beginnings.Β 

Since I was little,Β I liked to draw characters that I saw on TV, like Goku and Naruto.

ThisΒ yellow-eyedΒ NarutoΒ pencilΒ art isΒ hisΒ tribute to the anime that marked the begging ofΒ hisΒ tryst with pencil artΒ that we see today.Β Β And haven’t all anime artists started with anime art because they wanted to bring to life their beloved anime characters in their own unique way? To such anime artists, @artensyaΒ advice to never give up, not even someone criticizes your work and to keep on drawing and improving.Β

SinonΒ from Gun Gale Online

It is this never-say-dieΒ spirit ofΒ hissΒ that weΒ seeΒ manifestingΒ in an epitome of pencil work ofΒ SinonΒ from Gun Gale Online.Β Notice how @artensyaΒ balancesΒ the textureΒ inΒ hisΒ hair and the smoothness in shadingΒ elsewhereΒ just right.Β

How does he do it?

So how doesΒ heΒ create such mesmerizing pencil art, we ask? β€œCommitment andΒ determination”,Β heΒ replies humbly.Β β€œAnd a lot of time”,Β heΒ adds. We bet it tookΒ himΒ someΒ timeΒ to finish this drawing ofΒ MeliodasΒ clutching little Elizabeth in his arms. But the end result topped with the black finish is stunning in terms of details.Β 

WithΒ every blemish and scar almost right, our artist recreatesΒ one of the most epic moments fromΒ the anime β€œNanatsuΒ NoΒ Taizai”.Β Β HeΒ has chosen black Staedtler pens toΒ blacken this drawing.Β However, for allΒ hisΒ drawings, the underlying elements remain the same. Those are theΒ basic HB, B, 2B, and 2H StaedtlerΒ pencils withΒ a humble eraserΒ andΒ thick A4Β sheetsΒ to draw upon.Β Β

Sometimes, our artist needs nothing more than theseΒ modestΒ toolsΒ to create someΒ simpleΒ yet amazing pencil art.Β HisΒ rendition of theΒ crazyΒ DeidaraΒ fromΒ Naruto isΒ a clear example thatΒ heΒ gets every little detail right.Β Everything fromΒ Deidara’sΒ hair to his transplanted, wrinkled arm and even the mouth on his hand is done well to the last stroke.Β The shards around him reflect his explosive powers.Β Β

Contrarily, in thisΒ masterpiece Naruto, heΒ has exhibited some celestial level of cleanliness.Β Such isΒ hisΒ command overΒ hisΒ pencils thatΒ every inch of theΒ character is filled with just the right tinge of grey.Β Β 

And yet,Β @artensyaΒ feelsΒ continuousΒ improvement is vital for every artist.Β Every day,Β hisΒ follower’sΒ comments and messages inΒ hisΒ inbox propelΒ hisΒ to inch forward and continue to createΒ some amazingΒ pencil art for us.Β @itsbirdy, @ladowska, @arteyata, and @clivenzuΒ are some artists onΒ hisΒ favorites list.Β Is @artensyaΒ on yours?
