Some 15-20 minute drawing.
Made up the style just now.
Laid out loosely with pencil, quickly scribbled on with Prismacolor Cool Grays (30, 50, 60, 80), and Copic Ciaos (Lipstick Red, and Black)
Learned some new things to keep an eye out for while shading and that is to decide how the fuck you’re going to illustrate something before you put down any lines. That is all.[/details]
Prior to this, I was thinking of a pose for the old man. Couldn’t think of anything cool, but I somehow recalled this meme, and I connected it together with the open palm. And well, you get this. Feel free to use this as a response pic to gouken-related topics.
It ain’t fan art but I rarely draw and I much rather keep all my shit here than post half of it in that other image mishmash thread:
Assignment was to do a self portrait incognito. Incognito meaning in disguise. I chose to do the lame choice we call “a mask”. But however, that mask is really a drawing of my face. What does the drawing say about myself? I look like a cold person on the outside, but am timid internally. The cold exterior comes from years of not standing up to people (when I really wanted to) and having to deal with people who lack common sense (i.e. stupid people). Its a mix of upset and disappointed moods. The expression from the eyes is most notable as it generally doesn’t change significantly when I’m expressing other emotions. The timid face I’ve got on plays on how I make less eye contact than I ideally want.
Overall, I am pretty damn pleased with the level of contrast in the mask and hand. Hand lacks detail (as always), the hair is alright, neck and related tissue, bone and flesh are pretty nice too. Only thing that kills the whole drawing (for me) is the fact I goofed up the location of the right eye and I am damn ashamed of myself for it. It also makes me like dumb lol.
Stuff used: Canson paper (don’t have a clue on the specific type as I bought it 4 years ago), and Coates Willow Charcoal (medium sticks). Time? 6-7 hours?
