Taking the sketch a step further. Graphite portrait.

"You're asking me if I ever wonder what's out there? I spend too much time figuring out what's here in front of me."

"No one ever said the future would be easy. But I think we all saw the glimmer of a dream, somewhere in the sky that night"

"I am strength. I am courage. I am astute. Resilient. Virtuous. Loyal. But above all, I am me."

"Maceria is my homeland, my haven, my garden. I witnessed its growth alongside my own, and now it is my time to lead Maceria to new heights and be a beacon for all."

Working with different techniques!

A graphite study

A sketch that I did before the painting

Returning with new techniques and fresh ideas.

This was the first large study I did for this year, focusing on shapes. This was completed a few weeks ago, before the other studies with the same model.

Creative Process pt 6 - With the concept settled it's time to polish it up to something more presentable.

Creative Process pt 5 - Ever look at something and feel it's missing something? That was me x4 when looking at the other drafts. I made one more and made something I really like. Let's use this one.

Creative Process pt 4 - This final draft features the famous face angle. Overall, the goal of making 4 varied drafts was met. At this point I'll choose one and continue.

Creative Process pt 3 - I thought about something more dynamic but decided against it as I'd like to keep this as a simple portrait of lightning. The sketch + paint is unpolished as this took ~20 min.
