I'm really struggling with motivation and inspiration at the moment and as a result I've slipped back into my comfort zone (Portraits). To try and change things up a little bit I have tried to go for a slightly more painterly/less photo realistic approach the last few days.
Firstly just a few eye sketches from reference photos

And something a little more substantial, a portrait of the actor Daniel Gillies (Elijah from the originals/Vampire Diaries). I'm quite happy with it as a portrait, although I'm not convinced I really captured the likeness all that well.

Hopefully I'll have a few more original pieces started soon
