Ohh classy! I bet he's going to pull a pocket watch there. :) I just wonder what are the colors of his tartan.
A great addition to your series of victorian-style portraits, I'm sure he'll love it.
Technically speaking, it sure looks pretty ace, but the suit is bothering me a little, the texture looks more like polychloroprene than fabric, and it seems that his left sleeve is larger than the right one, "baggy" if I may. I'm probably wrong, but when I first looked at it these details caught my attention. Still, I love how you use the light on the right to define the edges on the left, looks very natural.
Rad stuff as always, Stu!

ahh darn I knew I forgot one detail of adding a pocket watch chain, and yeah that is one thing I wonder too, the colours of the Victorian clothes.
You probably see more suit jackets than I do due to your work place, and I wonder how I could get that more grainy texture that they have with the single brush I used for this pic. I was reffing myself for the pose and the right arm and it was more slimmer than I had illustrated becuase how tight it wrapped around the elbow because of the bend. And the left is resting against the body, so why it would be wider and baggier looking.
Thanks again for your thoughts bol, and have taken note of your watch comment :>

Actually there's plenty of hipsters there, haha. But yeah, I do get to see a lot of people dressed formally. Did you use the same brush painting the suit jacket and the backgorund? The texture back there would fit nicely, I guess. As for another thing I noticed, both left and right sides of the lapel have the same little thing on the top button. Sorry, I wouldn't know the word even in portuguese, haha, but I don't see the button there, if you know what I mean. But yeah, that's just me being picky. :) Looking forward to the next pics.
I used the same single brush that I've used for this series, and that is pretty flat, so some noise is added with a texture on the BG, and a little on the suit.
I don't know the full details on those button holes, just saw them and thought they would make a nice detail, and my brain works in symmetry :I
Chur bol!

Ach, not so! Otherwise it wouldn't be a good test. I will risk making a terrible pun and say that these black and white portraits are fine examples of good value. Ba dum bump.
(For the record, I've never known an artist who ever painted their illustrations or comic pages to size. True story.)

Plain old black and white can be a lot of fun, can't it? Sometimes I find the black and white stuff more engaging than color art. Taking hue out of the equation seems to give the emotional content more room to breathe. Or maybe it's the cheap plonk I'm drinking that's talking. Chur Stu!! *drunkhugs*
That is one of my favorite ways of digging myself back out of a pit I've made for myself. Occasionally it's like taking a punch to the face (how could I have missed that??) but it's always good.
Color is a world of agony and beauty in unequal shares. That different colors reach full saturation at different values; colors of the same value can shift based on opposing chroma--it's a mess designed to allure and confound. Like a diamond ring, packaged in a beautiful box, that's wired to household current, and you can't help trying to get at the ring.
I might be getting a little over-dramatic there.

haha was thinking he would be a pro coffee personal and having him in just a shirt with sleeve holders, but looking at all the ref I had everyone dressed their best for a photo. Unless us today :V
Thanks bol, you could touch it, but would probably slip off due to it's smooth finish
