Sometimes you just have to do a kind of character study of an interesting face. This portrait of a handsome young twink.
I'm a big fan of portrait painting in the vein of John Singer Sargent and Malcom Liepke. Often I find pictures of characters on the web and make quick alla prima portraits of people with cool or interesting faces.
This started as a drawing with Sharpie markers and then I painted over it with acrylic.
One of the things that I like about drawing, and I draw a lot, is that it allows me to experiment with mark making and composition. I feel that the marks and the visual texture are parallel to the physical texture that I get in my oil paintings. I often experiment with hatch marks and mark making in both media. They are kind of compliments to one another and so when I’m painting, I think about drawing and when I’m drawing, I think about painting. To that end I’ve started working on a series of marker drawings that I go over with acrylic and watercolor paint.
