No, not as good as I want to be. But I think this one is pretty good. Looking back I think the first one looks the closest so maybe I’m trying too hard?
Though coming from never painting a real person before I’m pretty happy overall.
Droporain (no idea how to tag people) asked for a young Sammy. This is him! Sort of, he’s probably in his 40s here.
This really reads well and I think it is great the way it is. The hyper realistic stuff is way too much for me even if I can appreciate their skill.
Thank you! I’m not a big fan of the super realistic either. The proportions aren’t quite right yet and the expression reads different to me. I’ll keep working on it!
