Karakasa card and Portraits

 

Karakasa card by BrushDip on Sketchfab

The Karakasa card, from Ragnarok Online. It was fun, I may try to remake more cards like this. 

More portraits in oil. One of the issues I seem to have is making the eyes too small, which ends up with a small looking face. But this also comes down to lack of planning and incorrect drawing.
Back to the black and white.

My first portrait of the new year. Used a reduced pallet without any blues.

I was hoping a while back that if I record my portrait painting in steps Ill be able to see where I go wrong and I think it helps. I've gotten into the method of background first, than working on the other elements, leaving the eyes and features untill last. I think I need to focus on the begining sketch more than I have been. Perhaps return to black and white painting for a year untill I've really got it down.
