What I am working on now - Honestly close to done. Just need a few more tweaks and playing until a title comes to mind.
Its acrylic and posca marker on Arches watercolor paper. The model is from the Museum app on IOS. He is a favorite because of his dynamic poses and I wanted to hire him specifically for a session to get the perfect pose for a particular project, but then ended up going in a non-figural direction.
This is my first foray into the acrylic marker space - and oh. my. gawd. I want them all. They give such wonderful control - and it makes it easier for me to bring the love of linework I use in my watercolor sketches to the realm of acrylic. Basically I think I am in love. I already have a second project in mind. And a third (a remake of an old painting that I thought would be a fun low stress exercise).
My cell phone often harshens the contrast but I will try to get better pictures of the finished painting.
