Working on figurative studies for sketchbook project, I got a little sidetracked on this portrait. It began to veer into surreal and ominous territory, but I’m used to that, so I followed.
It doesn’t feel finished, but I don’t know what else I’ll do with it. Maybe nothing at all. I’m open to suggestions.
Out of interest (nosiness?): who is it? What have you worked from? Or is he from your imagination? Size? Medium?
If it doesn’t ‘feel’ finished it’s probably not; leave it a week and take another look? Look at it in a mirror and/or upside down – any way that makes you view it purely as a formal composition.
Looks pretty good, though, from what I can tell here.
Nothing I do ever feels finished – that’s the problem. Leaving it alone for a while seems like a good idea.
I can’t reveal the name of the model. Sorry 🙂
I am no artist, but I’d say – leave it be. It’s fantastic, BTW.
Thanks. For some reason I didn’t see this comment until now. Sorry about that!
Oh, no worries 🙂
