Drawrch 2023 #20: Looking Away

Here's my twentieth illustration for Drawrch!

I struggled a lot with this one - you'll see if you watch the time-lapse - I just couldn't get the shading right. It kept looking more like a rash or skin condition rather than proper lighting. Sometimes, it's just really hard to do the shading on faces when the lighting isn't harsh.

It's a shame, because I liked how the initial sketch turned out, and that usually means I'll have an easy time with the final piece.

Anyway, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, a bunch of attempts at shading with the Flat brush, and then the Inka brush for everything else.

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

If you'd like to see how I drew this one, you can watch the time-lapse below:
