Went to see a friend perform tonight. He's posing for me in exchange for me doing an illustration for him, so I thought I'd practice a little. I hate working from other people's photos when the lighting or effects aren't my intent, especially if I like the photo and see no reason for anyone to make a drawing of it when the photo itself is perfect as is. But this is just practice. My back-up program caused my drawing program to act sluggishly, so my strokes are a little too hard...

i like it! its very different from your usual sketches. even with the hard lines. i'm back again from a four-day trip to the mountains... progressive mountains, that is. lucban, lucena and laguna. love the fresh air there. so just checked your blog again.
ReplyDeleteHot, rugged.
ReplyDeleteI love it!
Thanks, guys! Yeah, the pic I based this on was already Photoshopped quite a bit by the model, so there was a dark feel to it... which is why it turned out that way. Not a bad thing, just unusual for me.
