Here's my twenty-eighth illustration for Drawrch!
After Drawrch #23, I swore I wasn't going to do another realistic one for this project, but after I got done with the initial sketch, I started experimenting with brushes I don't typically use, and got caught up in it.
I like going for realism and I don't. I like it because it's fun seeing something come together that looks like the reference. It's also good practice, of course. But I don't like it because it takes forever to finish a piece (at least, in terms of doing a daily drawing) and every time I get done, I can't help but look at it and see all the flaws. It's a balance.
This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Oil Paint and Dry Brush brushes for color, and the Stucco brush for blending.
The photo I used as a reference for this drawing is from SketchDaily.
