Drawrch 2024 #21: Flip Phone

Martin · 245 days (4:30 PM · Mar 21, 2024)
An illustration of a man talking on a flip phone. The man is facing to the right and his eyes are looking to the right, away from the viewer. His left hand is holding a flip phone up to his head. He has a slightly concerned look on his face, and his mouth is slightly open and crooked to the side. He has a light complexion, blue-green eyes, stubbly brown facial hair and very short brown hair. His hairline is receding. He is wearing a light blue dress shirt. Three lines are emanating from the man's forehead. The background is a streaky light turquoise that fades to white towards the bottom of the image.

Today's Drawrch illustration is of a guy on his flip phone - that's three weeks of daily face drawings done!

I'm not really sure if I like this one or not. I like parts of it, and it's sort of pleasing to look at in its finished form. But I can't decide if I think it's good or not. It feels a little trapped between caricature and not, I guess?

The purpose of this project, and the others like it that I've done, haven't really been to always make good art, but just to get a daily session in, for practice. Still, I want them to be good (and sometimes they are!).

Anyway, as always, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Inka brush for linework, and the Dry Brush paint brush for some shading and texture.

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:
