I decided to try something a little different with this drawing/ painting. It is about 50/50 graphite and acrylics. I often us air brushed acrylics in my graphite work but usually in the final touches stage of the game. This portrait was first done in airbrush with the finer details added in graphite. Was a whole new set of challenges but I found it was a much faster way to work. This drawing is double the size i usually work and it took about half the time of my normal portraits.
