holy fuck that arcane self portrait you did is beautiful!!!! like excuse you??? the talent??? chef's kiss, phenomenal what tips/tricks/advice do you have for those that also want to learn the artstyle?

Whaaa thank you!!!! Some tips I did to try and make my portrait was actually studying Jinx and my own face! I had done a little study back when season 1 came out of Jinx face because I wanted to try and make one of myself but I couldn’t translate what I learned into a portrait of myself until now.

I did a very small structure study of jinx to see what shapes I could see and map out. I took that reference and started on a new canvas with my photo on the other side to look at. I would look at Jinx’s reference and my own photo back and forth to make my sketch. I started trying to get my features down first (picture on the right) before making the big highlights and shadows of my face that I could see on my photo.

Anytime I start on a drawing or painting, I always gravitate towards the eyes, lips, or mouth first. On Jinx, I found that the eyes, nose and mouth have the most solid shapes. They start out solid and start to blend out, either at one side or both. But the overall shape is still there even with a little blending. The first time I did my self portrait I over blended and lost the shapes completely. It looked nice but it wasn’t the Arcane style you know.

You can still see some shapes like on Jinx’s chin and right side of her forehead where her hair makes a cast shadow but the rest of her face is painted and blended out.

Another piece of advice is using characters as references that may have similar traits to you! I chose Jinx because she has a similar skin tone to me, she has some roundness to her face (I have very round features I feel like) and she has slight freckles.

For example, if you feel as though your eye shape resembles Caitlyn’s eye shape you can use her as one of your references while also using Jacye as reference if your skin tone resembles his skin tone.

Oh oh! Also DONT TRY MAKE IT SYMMETRICAL! I would get frustrated because I felt like it looked bad because it wasn’t symmetrical but that’s not true! I have slight uneven features and so do the characters in the show!

I could literally make a whole post tutorial about it but I hope what I wrote so far made sense!

Love and peace 🫶🏻
