WIP - The artist's last portrait

Couldn't help myself and decided to share the WIP that I've been working on for a bit. Medusa is a favorite myth of mine and I've had this portrait in my head since 2019 when I drew a little sketch that sparked the basis for the portrait.

Next step is transferring to watercolor paper and playing around with some interference watercolors.

Transi de René de Chalon by Ligier Richier

This transi has become one of my ‘milestone subjects,’ I tend to take a stab at it after a year or so has passed and usually find myself pleased with the progress I’m making as an artist. I also appreciate the fact it’s helping me figure out which brush settings in procreate work with me rather than against me.

This has become a repaint of an initial piece that was not nearly as dynamic. So I guess I’m doing everything again but the image will be significantly better in terms of form. Yay for learning I guess :)
