"Shlomi Assad's First Year At Oxford"


The name is important.

Open independent study assignment, basically masculinized myself. What a badass of a prettyboy I'd make.

Oil pastel on toned paper

Very nice, you paint blood convincingly xD and I can see how this would be a masculine version of yourself. My only problem is with the very top of the hair- I think the main parting bit looks a bit strange, something about the perspective is showing more hair at the back of the head than looks right?
Like I think that where the main parting centre point is, you could have left out the hair above that and it would have looked a little better. Its hard to explain without being able to show you on the work.

Great work! I love all the tones you used in the shadows of your man-self's face, and the way the darkest parts fade into the background. Did you use a photo reference to get the shadows so accurate? Because it looks really great. The light source is a little confusing, but over all this is really lovely. Nice work! :heart:

Haha yeah I HATED drawing that part on the hair, there were these really weird hilights and I eventually just went, "LOL FUCK IT, IT'S SCRIBBLE TIME."
I do see what you mean, and the fact that it's oil pastel means I can go back into it and fix it... hmmmmmm....

Everything can be justified with a "LOL" xD
Yeah well I mean it looks fine as is, but that was just one thing that I noticed.
