Drawrch 2025 #4: Profile

An illustration of a man's face in profile. The man is looking to the right and has a blank look on his face. He has a pale complexion, and features that are shaded to a dark red as if he is in the cold. He has messy brown hair with frosted tips, and it is cut close on his lower head and neck. He has a scraggy but short neck beard and mustache. His lips are pink. He is wearing a shiny blue sweatshirt over a barely visible white shirt. The background is a pale green.

I've used this style for a few Drawrch illustrations in the past, and it is a bit hit-and-miss. For this drawing, I think it is mostly a success, though the shape of the man's face looks a little too angular to me after finishing the drawing and viewing it from afar.

To borrow a phrase from a famous author: so it goes! 🤪

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, the Larapuna brush for fills and shading, and the Soft air brush for background gradients.

The photo I used as a reference for this drawing is from SketchDaily.
