Raphael Varane - Pen Drawing

Hi all!

From my footballers drawing series, I present to you my new artwork. Time time, I drew a France footballer who currently plays for Manchester United at club level. His name is Raphael Varane.

Formerly a Real Madrid player who was an undisputed Central Back later went to United after winning every possible trophy there. He had been benched by the current United coach for much of the season.

However, with the recent injuries hampering united players, even in the defense, he was restored back and he is performing very well. I hope he continues in this level and win back the coach's trust.

Here, I drew him positioning in a three-quarter format. I love how those squiggles moved around in his face to build forms and textures. I also love the formation of his hairstyle with thicker ink.

The piece was done with a blue ballpoint pen on a cardboard paper using scribble style. My steps can be seen below:

Nice job
I've never sketch a footballer before but 3 days ago, I made a sketch of Pep Guardiola.
Seems that I will give a try this week.
Keep up the good work.

Nicely done man, it looks good.

He has been pretty decent for Man u, I myself first thought it was a terrible signing.
Only this hair cut this guy have gotten since the beginning of his career till date😂.

Haha, you are right. That's sane style he used during his time in Madrid. More like a trade mark to him, lol😄

It's not easy using a pen to create a piece but when you master it, you wouldn't feel like using any medium😊
