#77 - Tommy Flanagan & Bonus!
Tommy Flanagan (Sons of Anarchy)
6"x4"
Pencils and Watercolor
BONUS!
the first portrait attempt:
6"x4"
Pencils and watercolor.
One of the issues that arises with portraiture based on references is what references the artist (me) picks and the choices made to represent the actor. For the first portrait of Tommy Flanagan, I used a lot of older references, and thus was drawing him younger while also trying to make him look current. I ended up overworking it by going too heavy on the brush line work. Another issue is actor versus character. For this project I am drawing real people, not the characters they play. I found that in a lot of current photos of Tommy Flanagan, he does look a bit like his Sons of Anarchy character Chibs. So I started fresh and went with a more in character looking portrait. The second time around it went a lot faster and I think the likeness is there a little more.
