This is my thirty-first (and final) illustration for Drawrch 2023 - aw, yeah!
Like last year's Drawrch, I figured I'd finish things up with another self-portrait. I don't consider that last one a failure, but I didn't care for how it turned out either, so I also sort of wanted to redeem myself a bit this year. And I think I did! I'm happy with it anyway.
Perhaps I'll post more about it in the future, but I feel like I settled into a style that I didn't start with this time, and I like how it went. I do this project to explore styles and practice, so I didn't want to do all of them the same way, but I did enjoy some methods more than others, so it was hard not to lean into them a bit more.
Anyway, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching and the Inka brush for everything else.
The photo I used as a reference for this drawing is a selfie I took today.
If you'd like to see how I drew this one, you can watch the time-lapse below:
Thanks to everyone who has been following along with these. I will have a new project soon!
