Bearded Man
Hello Sketchbook,
And welcome back to emanate artworx! For this post, I'd like to share something a little different from my norm, a portrait of a man. Not just a man, but a bearded pink man with a tidy hat.
On this study, I felt like taking a brief step away from my regular female subjects. The guy in the reference pic looks friendly and normal, but this pink guy is a different story, lol. With the smile he's wearing, he seems like he would have a big laugh that would fill the room. Or maybe he's a maniac, I'm not sure. 😄
During the sketch he was throwing Clockwork Orange vibes, so I drew in the bold lashes. But I omitted for the final work because that movies was ...over my head! Such a slice of cinematic intensity.

Bearded Man

2304x3072
Made with IbisPaint X ver 10.0.8
1.5 hours
Reference 1
Reference 2
The cherry on top was the background texture called "Japanese paper". It gave a weathered or aged type of look to the whole thing. 😙🤌 IbisPaint has a lot of features and options throughout, which I love 🤩.





Thank you for reading! See you on the next one, friends : )

This work is really good. Regards.
Is very interesting the results of the portrait. I have to wait around 4 minutes to looking completely your work, because the internet 🛜 in the last days is really bad. But I can say, It was really worth the wait to be able to see the final result of your work. Congratulations.
This looks good Ema😁. Nice work hehe. I love the colour palette you used here.

Thanks for sticking it out to look at my portrait. I appreciate you : )
Ahh, thanks! The 2nd reference is what inspired the colors. I've been thinking about skin rendering since you shared that tip the other day, Solumviz 😁.
Thank you
oh yeah, noticed the textured paper right away. Very fitted to the colors and character itself. 💗
Is it time to switch? 🤣

Nice! Im also testing some stuff from that for my next drawing hehe.
Currently going insane coz I can't draw hair XD. I forgot about how I did it before lol.
You're a details person, so that checks out 😆. Haha, I ask myself the same about clip studio at times. But do I really want to cheat on Ibis? 🫢
Thanks, Jiji!
Oh, I am very sure you'll get back the memory. It seems like you nail pretty much every part! 😆
I hope so too. It's a good thing that I made a new entry some days ago XD. This week's entry would have sucked otherwise haha.
Haha! Yeah, keep em queued up 🦾
Yes i will haha.
Nicely detailed. Absolutely excellent work!
Thank you! That's a great compliment ✨️
