Description

Okay, so this is quite an spontaneous picture! I saw this photograph of Kele Okereke, the lead singer of the great band Bloc Party in a German rock music magazine and just had to use it for this portrait painting practise. It was fun to draw his face, especially in this perspective. Thank god I had a reference photo (no tracing, no colourpicking)! =3

I hope he looks masculine enough... Because I head problems with that. (That comes from drawing too many girls... I have to practise boys more!)

# tools used: Artweaver 0.5, Paint Shop Pro X

That's a very nice digital painting. Though you chose a strong contrast light/shadow, it's still colorfull and that's something hard to pull off. The rendering of the clothes is super and we can clearly feel the hair-going-in-every-directions withouth you going in too much details (which is great because it add dynamism). Maybe the nose looks a tap too flat at the bottom, as though the nostrils and their in between were all on the same level and stuck on the upper lip. Well, after all, the face's angle is truly interesting, but also very hard to draw. So the anatomy isn't perfect, but not off either. Overall this painting is colorfull, vibrant well rendered.
