Sometimes Magic Sounds Like Tape
Of the three portraits I’ve attempted so far, this is the one I like most. ♥
Bizarrely, all that fancy brocade didn’t give me nearly as much trouble as the man-lipstick. I re-drew it about five times, and in the end all that effort just meant that it was darker and more obvious than anything else in the picture. Alas!
I actually don’t know who this guy is (a friend suggested him when I was looking for people to draw), but he was fun to sketch. I particularly like the glasses, for some reason. ♥
The previous three entries were all attempts at a more realistic style, but done without reference (necessarily, what with the characters being fictional and all). This is the first of three that I’ve done with a photo handy:
This one and the next two are already in the gallery, but I’m posting them here in case I take them out of there later. I still haven’t decided whether the gallery should be for colored and finished art only, or if sufficiently polished sketches are also good to include there… Anyone have a preference?
