Thank you for the advice! I usually use harder pencils for outlines and very light shading. I used to paint more and have had a couple of successful sales but it's very hard to get consistant pay.
Japan must be very inspirational, is their any artists out their you look up to or are inspired by? Anyway good luck to you and wish you all the best from one artist to another. It's nice to see a fellow artist who does portraits on Steemit.
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.
