#portrait practice

Found older than ancient sketch of this mien, missed him too much over the years to not actually finish it at last<з

This was a recent painting I did. For a long time I did a lot of photo realistic painting. I’m not trained, and though I’ve had procreate for five years I didn’t paint for 3 of those until Astarion came into my life and reinvigorated me. In the last few months I’ve been experimenting far more, with texture, and especially colour - a much more painterly style than I’ve ever done before. I have a lot to learn, and plenty of room to grow! This was a study I did based on my own Vp reference.

Funny anti-social spaceman save me...

Dudes are out for some mischief 😏

Most of the time (unless strictly monochrome) portrait practice ends up being about colour theory during the process🎨 Study of Domhnall Gleeson from his time in "Shadow Dancer".
