i do a tooonne of studies, but rarely post them online. especially because i don't know if people want to see someone repeatedly draw a mostly disembodied coracobrachialis. but i'll endeavor to post the more interesting ones, like this.
i tried out a bunch of different techniques for construction here. faces with anatomical quirks, or faces with subtleties that are hard to capture are my bread and butter. the first picture is all photostudies of Jason Isaacs, in case you couldn't tell. (he's more recognisable with a long blonde wig.) i absolutely adore him. it probably helps that he often gets cast as the inexplicably sexy villain. last night i watched Event Horizon, a film that he features in as an extremely miserable+cute (good combo) medic, what a fucking good film. the second picture is Tom Hardy and a random guy from a youtube video, i just liked the lighting.
