Charcoal portrait of martial arts superstar Donnie Yen, done in Procreate on the iPad.
There’s something bugging me about this one. It doesn’t feel right, but I can’t put my finger on what it is. Mechanically, there’s a handful of problems. I picked an orange base layer color that was deliberately outlandish, something I’ve seen portrait painters do, but anywhere you can see it in here it looks wrong. He’s got some kind of orange aura effect going. There’s something wrong with his face and I can’t tell what it is. The jacket is a little out of focus. One of his necklaces is sitting wrong.
I don’t know. I just need to move on.
