@one_two: Thanks! :)
@Ballpoint: Thank you! It's Sargent but this kind of work wasn't as commercially successful and I think he did paintings like this mostly for himself. Search for "Sargent male study" and you'll find tons of sketches and paintings of quite sensual male subject matter, and most people have no clue. As for the contrast it's really hard to find good resources on this one. I did find one after some more searching and according to that one I messed up the colors quite a bit and contrast was actually even lower hehe
@Damien Levs: Thanks Damien, I think some of my training is shining through.
@darktise: Thank you for your thorough reply! Yeah drawing women is definitely something I did more of previously, but since like 2 years i've exclusively drawn men and so it would be good to kind of pick up women where I left off. As for drapery, I definitely agree with you about that and costume design. Damn, design just in general is something I need to work on. As for the last two questions, are you asking how much time i spend on a preparatory drawing before I move into the painting part? Many thanks for the words, I really appreciate it!
@Cgmythology: Thanks man :D The shoulder pads are directly stolen off of World of Warcraft. Been spending too much time in there...
Posting with a little master study, same thing as with the sargent painting up there where I'm trying to find a good workflow going from drawing/sketch to actually painting and I'm finding my way in there. I also appreciated the subtle edges and values around her profile and wanted to capture that. More will come !
