Description Do NOT repost, either on tumblr or anywhere else unless you've specifically asked beforehand - bafflingly this still seems like a monumental task for some people. It's here on tumblr, so you can reblog it from there.

Just a relatively quick sketch to warm up again, it's been ages since I last did anything. If I could just keyboard smash and use that as a title without it being awful, I would, so instead I used a song title by El Ten Eleven.

Beautiful m'dear, great expression for John and I love the tones used! Agree with garik about the lines though.. But it's easily forgotten because of the brilliance of the subject matter and just about everything else!

It's undoubtedly beautiful, compo is well balanced and pallete is hormonous,
but that perioral lines... something about them looks a bit distracting.

Yeah, I'm going to be honest, I'm not really that pleased with it either. I did change the texture from something else initially, just because it looked too flat otherwise, but I'll have to have a look around for something more fitting! I do have a tendency to get lazy with things and just leave it, even if I'm not happy with it

Oh. I, personally, am happy with it.
Why, the unobtrusive texture works good on it, flat colours
leaves the priority to the ink rendering which you are master of.
What I meant is a hare-lip effect

OH I totally see what you mean, the area around where his philtrum is meant to be? It kinda looks like that part got mistakenly moved way too far down when I was messing about with the lineart. I didn't even notice it before to be honest!
