A few hours well spent today. I want to start doing a buttload of face/portrait studies to improve my work on faces. Before doing that though, I decided to do one out of my head without reference to gauge where my current skills are at, and this is the result.
I did a few new things with this one (new for me anyway). For one, I started with blobs of value and color, NO linework, and I also took the time to refine this one a little more than I usually would, (my roommate guilted me into doing that). All in all, I'm pretty happy with it, but spent more time than I intended to on it.
*EDIT* Oh I should point out that this started as a painting of a grumpy old man and somehow morphed into Sagat over the course of the painting.
