learning how to draw face. start to "finish". it's a process

refs + my next victim under cut

these are hasty sketch-overs to get a feel for him. the process is as follows

trace the screenshot over "faithfully"

sketch over it starting with simplified shapes and put care to features that are significant to their Vibe

ideally, what i'd done with silvers: just drawing a faithful portrait from scratch. which I've got a ways to go on yet

Flint is so funny because he's an example of anti-system leader who want the best for his fellow man.

But doesn't LIKE his fellow man. Or woman. He tries, but he really just can't help but feel annoyed by most of the people he is trying to lead against the system (or liberate from it) and feels slightly superior to most of them.

He settle on wanting to free his fellow man or woman from an evil Empire because he likes and respects England even less than he likes and respects his fellow man.

Which is valid btw but it's fun how he genuinely only likes and respects a max of five people in the whole show, and yet he still says things like "I can't believe we are so poorly made as that."

Yes you believe that in your daily life, that's why you can't open up with anyone and you can’t stop treating them as your politically, morally and intellectually inferiors!

I think it's fascinating that in abstract he believes in the inherent goodness of humanity and the idea that in a more equal and less corrupted society, people would not oppress each others for fun and history would be a journey though progress; in concrete he thinks that every person he interact with is dumber than him and need to be manipulated and convinced to do exactly what he thinks is the right thing to do, with very fews exception of two or three people he considers as smart and morally righteous as himself.

What a funny character.

The contraddiction of his character between his political/ideological optimism about humanity as a whole and his deep distrust and dislike of almost any individual he meets on a personal and intellectual level is so entrateining and very realistic.

Often neglect to think about the true extent of all that's wrong with him as Silver's inimitable form of batshittery keeps me occupied but. He was up there! He WILL receive a consolation prize for how much he enjoys causing a fright

An experimental Flint, for @pepp-love. I've never drawn him this way, so… yeah.
