    Going for the shadow/lit separation again, but this time I tried to keep all the details in the shadows and half tones, blowing out the highlights.

    Was watching a studio tour on Proko’s YouTube with Stephen Bauman yesterday, and was struck again at how beautifully subtle his drawings were. So I tried to stay more restrained and subtle with the values. I also tried treating it like a real drawing. I “toned” the drawing and collapsed it to a single layer with a lighter value underneath. I then made a brush that was sort of like a kneaded eraser and worked that, rather than just changing my brush color.

    Just keeping on doing the thing.

    Halfway done. A strangely anticlimactic feeling today.

    This one is more like an older drawing style I used to do. Was a surprisingly easy drawing.

    Playing around with another caricature. Rendered it with a scribbling hatching method that felt easier on the iPad.

    Used an overlay layer at the end to bring back some of the texture I lost from painting over the sketch.

    Tried the same approach as yesterday but I was really unhappy with the way it went after the drawing phase. Was a struggle to get something I was semi-happy with.

    Had to be careful in ‘caricature-izing’ this one. With the pursed mouth and eyes, jowels, and thinning hair it would be easy for this one to look like Trump. So I made sure to de-emphasize certain qualities – like keeping the hair very flat.

    Was looking at the early stuff this week, and am pretty happy with my progress. Today was easier, and the likeness was quick to get.

    A more normal person from the photos, with some nice lighting.

    Another caricature one, but trying to keep it painterly.

    Did this while talking with a friend who was shocked when I finished and showed them. It’s not the best piece, but hearing a non-artist be impressed is a good feeling. I think I blushed. 🙂
