Acrylic training portraits

Here comes also some traditional work - after the previous post with digital sketches. So this time portraits done with acrylics.
Painted with acrylics on A4 artist hardboard

The first picture was really not easy one and I suppose it´s also because of not very good reference picture. I was messing with paint and it was too rushed...

I like the second picture more, I was trying to calm down and prepare some color strings with burnt umber as a baseline color.

Few digital training sketches

Here is set of few digital training sketches. I was trying to regain my lost abilities :) so here are my attempts done during one evening. I was not focusing on accuracy, just playing with colors and form..

They are far to be perfect but I would like to show some update and let the world know that I´m alive... :)

Digital portrait "Vvola" + video with process

I´m trying to draw and paint more just to regain previous (poor) skills.... so here comes next digital portrait sketch and record of the process.

It took two sessions (evenings) and I´m not very happy with the final result but don´t want to loose more time with this picture...hopefully more will come soon...

Created with CS4 and Huion tablet
