Experimenting with Ink

A portrait that started out as Lady Gaga before it turned into this.

I always wanted to try out painting Daniel Craig because of his interesting facial proportions (big nose, chiseled jaw and the like). However it seems I ended up giving him a decently proportioned nose and really thin lips making this guy look like some else entirely.

A ink piece I did while attending figure drawing class.

I have a love/hate relationship with ink. When it works I really love ink and vice versa. Overall I joke about how it's one of those mediums that requires a good glass of wine in order to loosen up and let the ink do it's thing.
