Yeah well done for selling your stuff! I look forward to seeing more of your portraits if you post some. The surreal one you’ve put up looks good.
I don’t really follow or look up to any traditional artists to be honest. I’m kind of in my own bubble when I draw because it’s timeless. No need to keep up with new trends.
I recently got a job where I had to do some portraits in the style of Stanley chow which was fun. I respect his cool graphic style. Totally different from this stuff though.
