Yeah, it was my first thought when I saw the ref. Bit of another rush job, especially now that football's back on TV to steal my time, but they seemed to like it.

Looks great!
although... is he making a face or is his beard (the lower lip stuff) only growing on half his face? That part looks a bit odd...

Double checking with the ref I think I haven't been subtle enough with the lighter hairs and shadows. My brushstrokes with traditional paints are always a bit too harsh and those kind of transitions are a constant struggle for me.
And I think my colour mixes went a bit too reddish which doesn't help that area.

Actually comparing with the ref I think it's one of those cases you might have been better off "improving" on the model - because the ref also looks like he has more beard on one side of the mouth than the other...

Wow. You can paint in acrylics too!?!

90 minute Sktchy inspired thing. That still seems like a long time to me for the end result.

It's debatable.


Great work in such a short space of time with your pic.
Excellent expression to the eyes too, it looks very thoughtful with a distinct personality behind the face.

Unfinished, even by my own unfinished standards.

But a scribble is a scribble.
