Miguel Bose portrait #2

 

Meeeoooow, Monday!  Been a few months since I last posted... Just finished a portrait, Miguel Bosé... one of my fave singers!   I used Winsor and Newton Cotman pan watercolors, then used Staedtler Mars Lumograph Black for the dark details and Derwent watercolor pencils for the highlights.  I love how black the Staedtler is!!!  I like it much better than the blue series.  


My last portrait was a while ago, before covid, so my portrait skills are really, really rusty!  Started this with a very wonky sketch... Managed to struggle through the wonkiness.  The finished portrait isn't how i pictured it to look like, I was going for a looser, more minimal style.  As is my tendency, I kinda overworked it... again.  Still have much to learn, one of them is loosening up!  Also learn to do the ears, neck and hair better!  Ears... bleh.... I don't like drawing/rendering it, I find them boring to do. hahahaha...  Anyway, I did a portrait of Miguel Bose many years ago, you see it (here)...  


I wanted to add some of his Youtube song videos here, but having some issues with adding them here.  Go check them out on Youtube, especially those live/concert ones!  I looooove his songs!  Have a lovely and meowy day!
