Ok, so, the art site to which I subscribe holds monthly competitions. This months topic is portraits. I've never really done portraits, and as such wanted to give this a go. I did a quick search for portraits on google and a portrait similar to this popped up. I hope I did it justice. There are a few things I really like about it. One is, I think the shading on the shirt is great. with just a few strokes of color, it totally looks like there is a collar on the shirt and a few button holes.
The nose was intersting to do. I didn't really draw a nose, just figured if I shaded everything but the nose, it would have to stand out and look like a nose. I'm not about to say I nailed it, but I think I had a great first effort. What do you all think, leave a comment. Thanks, and as always, enjoy.
