An illustration of a man with his head turned slightly away from the viewer, but with his eyes still looking this way. The man has a long face and dark eyebrows and hair. He has on a pair of glasses and has a neutral expression on his face. The drawing is rendered with the man highlight and shadow over a messy background of gold, red, and purple, which overlap onto him and give him extra bits of shading on the left and right sides.

For today's Drawrch illustration, I drew a dude in a similar style as some of my other drawings from this project, but with a more colorful background.

Originally, I had planned on just having the drawing be plain red in the background, but at the last minute decided to try some color. After mulling over it a bit, I settled on this design. It's not perfect, but I like the messy background coloring bleeding into the shading of the subject. I think it makes it less mundane/safe.

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 Tarraleah brush for background texture/shading.

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