Portrait of Pedro Pascal, done in Procreate on the iPad using charcoal brushes. The reference image is from the movie Prospect, which is a great piece of cinema veritas for a grungy, awful future. I think the piece turned out pretty good, although the helmet reflections are weak.
It probably wasn’t obvious, but the last several paintings I’ve done have been of actors from recent Star Wars projects, although I haven’t picked any Star Wars-related reference images. Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Emilia Clarke, and Donald Glover were all in Solo. Donnie Yen is in Rogue One. And Adam Driver of course plays Kylo Ren in the sequel trilogy. I think I’m done with this particular theme, though.
I’m moving into studying perspective, so most of my work right now is going into sketching a bunch of little boxes. When that’s through, I intend to get back to figure work. I’m sure I’ll find things that inspire me to post here in the meantime.
