RGD | LiliBetMaez

I saw this post by LiliBetMaez on RGD And really liked the expression, it had a 3/4 view, and it would be fun to play with the values. When it came to the colored version I wanted to try a few things. I played a lot with the texture brushes especially with the skin and hair — I know I made the final a bit darker than the original, but that’s what artistic license is for. With the background, I went for a more stylized and textured look.

This portrait was drawn in ink, scanned, and then digitally manipulated and colored to create the final artwork that I felt worked best to submit back to Reddit Gets Drawn for the pleasure of the poster who submitted their photo. I love to draw and the best thing about this is that I choose which photos to draw, however, I have received many requests from people for me to do their commissioned portraits. I have many options available if you would like to be drawn — please check out my Merchandise Shop if you would like to see the options for Commissioned Portrait Drawings, such as my ink portraits, graphite portraits, animal portraits, or even quick artistic graphite portraits.

If you would also like to purchase a print of my artwork as a poster, canvas print, or on a phone case you can also see those in the Merchandise Shop — I have also recently begun making Skateboard Deck Designs, but those can only be currently purchased via Threadless.com.

This portrait is also in the Art Portfolio — both the Ink Version and the Digitally Colored Version. Be sure to also check out the three Instagram posts – WIP Photo, WIP Scan, and the Final Version
