Drawrch 2025 #8: Long Hair

Martin · 15 hours (11:40 PM · Mar 8, 2025)
An illustration of a man with long hair and a mustache and beard. The man has a blank expression on his face but is looking intently at the viewer. He has a pale, reddish complexion, light green eyes, blond hair, and a blond/red mustache and beard. He is wearing a black shirt. The background is a pastel green split and made slightly darker by a diagonal line across the middle.

Today's Drawrch illustration is of a blond dude looking intently at the viewer.

I chose this reference image for because I thought the man's plain features would be pretty easy to sketch out/render, but it took me a really long time to get the shape of his head and proportions of his face looking right. It just goes to show you how the smallest details make a difference.

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Smooth Natural Nib brush for linework, the Syrup brush for fills and some details, and the Rough Dot Shader 45/Light brush for shading.

The Smooth Natural Nib and Rough Dot Shader 45/Light brushes are from the Rusty Nib pack and the Beat Tones pack, by True Grit Texture Supply.
