every time i close my eyes, I see his face...

Portrait practice using a painting of King Carlos III of Spain by Anton Raphael Mengs as reference.

I just found his face and expression so interesting for some reason and ended up hyperfixating to the point I had to do something with it.

Art progress post! The top image was done in May of 2022. The redraw was done in the first week of May this year. I always feel like I could have improved more over this time period, but it's also important for me to recognize the progress that I have made.

You can see (most of) my janky process below the jump.

Hi all, hope youre doing well? Its been awhile since my last post (again), unfortunately this has been down to health issues. If you didnt know i have a condition called Ankylosing Spondylitis and its been particularly bad this year. Consequently i havent been able to work over the last few months but things are gradually improving and ive been able to get back into the swing of things recently.   So in the spirit of the season, heres a little one off piece which is now available on my store, ‘Thirst’. Have a great Halloween / Samhain!   shop.mostlywanted.com
