Drawrch 2024 #13: Laughing 2

An illustration of a man laughing. The man is facing to the right and has a medium-dark complexion, dark eyes, a shaved head, and light beard and mustache. His mouth is open and smiling, and his eyes are squinted nearly shut. He is lit by a bright orange light on the right. The angle of the image is from slightly below.

Today's Drawrch illustration is of another person laughing, but this time from a slightly odd angle.

As was the case with Drawrch #11, it was a little difficult getting the sketch right for this one. I had to pay careful attention to the angles and not let my mind go on autopilot while drawing. In the end, I think I got it pretty close, though someday I'm going to have to go in and do a test to see just how close these get to the references. Not today, though! 😅

As usual, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Inka brush for almost everything else, and the Soft air brush for a few gradients. I also added some noise to the background to push down the banding caused by my light usage of the air brush.

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:
