Pompadour, Colored

Yesterday's drawing was created for the purpose of specifically exploring this coloring technique I'd previously hatched, adding variety through color while maintaining a level of super-flatness. I quite like the technique and look forward to doing a full-on piece utilizing it. It's definitely influenced by animation, I think.

I like how different this face is for me - it wasn't done with any references at all, nor my standard features that I draw. It means I'm able to vary my feature set a bit. The nose is a bit tall, maybe a bit English-looking to my mind, and he's more elongated. Definitely more like a current male model than the 80s and 90s types I have tended to draw in the past.
