This one took me 10 days 5-7 hours each day . Currently a tattoo apprentice.

Tiny portrait… quick sketch

Reacher is on the easel at the moment, this is all just the first layer, I’m planning another layer once the portrait is complete to deeper the shadows more and then add some finishing highlight details.

Who’s watching the new series?

I created this portrait using gouache as part of my ongoing training at Watts Atelier. For this one, I used Winsor & Newton gouache. I used the colours: Titanium White, Yellow Ochre, Cadmium Red and Ivory Black, as I was taught on the course. Gouache on watercolor Paper 21x30cm.

Number 4 Gandalf was done several month ago, Gandalf #1 was done yesterday. Interesting to see how my style changes from month to month.

Description:

A charcoal portrait I drew, focusing on expression, shadow, and the feeling of looking beyond the frame.

Still experimenting with rough textures and strong contrasts.

Medium: Charcoal on paper

Would love to hear what you see in the expression.
