Here's today's Drawrch illustration! This one is of a man looking how I feel right now: tired.
I started this one off with a loose sketch, still trying to veer off into caricature territory. So the proportions of the man are not right at all, on purpose. His nose is too big, mouth too wide, jaw too angular, and hand a bit glove-like. But then I got to shading it and I could get away from trying to do that more realistically.
So the result is sort of an uncanny valley between caricature and not, which looks better up close (like when I'm working on it) but pretty strange from afar. It was good practice, anyway - and only one more to go now! 😄
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 Old Brush and Soft air brush for shading. Additionally, I used the Rough Dot Shader 45deg/light for the halftone shading, which is from the Beat Tone pack by True Grit Texture Supply.
The photo I used as a reference for this drawing is from SketchDaily.
