I’m relatively inexperienced but for where I’m at I’m very pleased with how this turned out. Done the eyes a bit too big but hey, that’s part of the game. We win or we learn!

How long have you been drawing?

I can see the conflict and violent emotion driving across that drawing!

Man I went to this outdoor art affair one time and a guy literally had probably a 12x12 inch canvas just painted black.

I was stoned so I talked to him and he said it was called depression..

From that day forward I knew I could at least attempt to sell my abstract crayon art.

He's got dead eyes, lifeless eyes...like a dolls eyes.

Make it your own and add some eyeballs

Dude looks like he's tweaking

His physician Galen (sp) would make him a mixture to help treat his physical ailments. One of those ingredients Galen used was opium.

I did a portrait about 2 years ago which turned out okay, but I hadn’t really kept up with it since then. Only a few months ago I started reading Andrew Loomis’ book to learn his methodology and I’ve been doing little bits of practice here and there. This is the first piece I’ve put time into. I think I have a decent fundamental understanding of how to build up values and adding highlights and what not, it’s just I found it really difficult to place facial features and construct the skull / facial planes, so I downloaded Loomis’ book in PDF which is free and started reading. There’s so much material out there freely available for people to dive into anything they want

These are some of my sketches that show the most basic breakdown of the skull and feature placement

Great job. Since you took off your trousers it seems you were happy with it too

"Go on, go on, o my soul, to affront and dishonour thyself!"

You reminded me these fucking guys from Elden Ring lol

Definitely badass sir.

The facial map is a difficult one to navigate, but it looks like you are nailing it.
I have tried to carve a couple of faces, and its a serious task.
I think I'm starting to understand a little, but it's different than putting it in paper.
I still have much to learn lol.

Nice one! Keep it up.
