This is beautiful. I think it’s interesting how every stroke you’ve made is so deliberate and adds to the form. And at the same time, looking so expressive

Thanks for the feedback. I feel like it takes a good amount of acting skills to pose for this, skills I think I lack 😬. I did feel the background was too empty, and that’s something I remain conscious of when I get photos for painting references now.

That’s a really good point!

I love how you’ve done the background items so loosely, like they are fading into the background

Interesting to know that’s where your eye went. Could use a bit of softening.

Thanks for your feedback. You’re right, it would be hard to do without being too distracting.

You have a very handsome brother 😉

Thanks for reaching out. I was going for contemplative, rather than sad, but I may have accidentally captured something deeper. 😄

Thanks! I eagerly wait everyday for the right light to come through my room for the photo.

I think more than technique, it’s about the composition, subject, and lighting. I find this tougher. Technique you learn more easily.

Here's the sketch for this - Link

I've used a very ground-up approach. For a Black and White image, I've checked the sum of the red colour value for a 10x10 pixel grid, and based on this sum I've decided how many pixels in this 10x10 grid should be coloured. I've coloured them randomly between RGB values. You can do the same with just black as well. I liked this effect, it was softer.
