finished portrait

portrait progress

Decided to take a momentary break from the childrens book and mailers which I admittedly haven't gotten around to posting as they are constantly being touched up for good measure, I've been working on this color study of a self portrait to experiment with a different pallete.

Sasquatch

One my most favorite pencil drawings, loved the mystery of bigfoot since I was about 10 and would always find myself wondering through the Vermont woods to find it. The pose should be familiar to most with a small alteration from the movie where the figure is slightly more hunched over and twisting around in motion. I chose to make it almost about to duck back into the brush and add grittier texture to its fur. Bigfoot's eyes are its best aspect with the face left in near shadow.
