This was a school assignment where we had to do 2 head studies from master Illustrators (I did J.C. Leyendecker and Gilbert Stuart)
Then using the knowledge we gained from the head studies we had to illustrate a portrait of a character from literature. For those who haven't guessed this is Prince Arthur.
I'm listening to the whole audiobook right now, 33 hours in all, on my iPhone. This is my wallpaper for the duration of the first part. Beautiful work!
Beautifully done! Like the way you painted those clear outlines and the shadings. You're amazingly talented! Thanks for this! I love the Arthurian legend for decades now, but slightly seen such beautiful work. Great!
