Stelios sketch commission

Sketch commission for

Requested was her character Stelios.

Age : 28-30
Country of origin : Silesia
Not very tall (1m72), pretty slender but he nicely shaped. No big muscles, he’s slim, but he’s not « flat » either. The tricky aspect of his look is that he has some subtlety and refinement in his features, and yet he’s not « feminine » like the yaoi cliché. Alean dislikes feminine guys and he generally enjoys men of a certain age.

Formerly a musician hired by several wealthy lords, Stelios arrived at king Alean's service and first became one of his lovers... then his latest « favorite ». He aims to be the one who’ll conquer Alean's heart, or at least it’s what he tries to convince himself of day after day...


This is actually the second attempt to draw him, since the first failed totally. I was for a moment worried I will even refund my commissioner - this character proved to be a large challenge.

Big thanks to Oceanlord - client I definitely recommend - very patient, helpful and respectful.

Graphite sketch - following basic character details. Result is portrait.

what I learned during making: portrait is not about the physical, its about the personality inside

Media: office paper, graphite pencil B and B3, format - A5 (folded A4)
music: Crazy Town - Starry Eyed Surprise
Drawing belongs to me
