Since I've been in army for this whole year, (!!!!!) I haven't had the time to go and see my sister's new apartment. But now that I'm all free and stuff I'll go and see that dump tomorrow. I thought I'd make a portrait of her and her screaming potato (= read "child") so that I could give at least something to her (I don't wan't to buy stuff since I'm poor and a cheap bastard). I used a photo( taken in Monaco) as a reference to get some likeness to them but I'd have preferred to use my own lineart for that. I shall try to draw them from life on the next weekend to fix this. This is just one of those pics that I made to practice something and this time I practiced the use of canvas texture and using brushes that use the depth of texture. I tried to keep the pen pressure low so that the pigment only touched the "peaks" of the texture in some parts. I liked doing that since it allows for some optical colour mixing as there's no need to use transparent or blending brushes. I mostly used my own variants of oil pastels and added some fluidity to those ramdom brush strokes with wet acrylics. I have a problem of overworking with my pics and I tried to avoid it here because it would have ruined the whole style I was aiming for. (no edits even if you think it's messy I think it's messy and I'm happy about it so there!) If I make a style experiment for too long it has the danger of starting to look like all my oher pictures. '__'() That child screams so much it's not even funny.
