Well. Just finished (though knowing me I'll still keep adding brushstrokes ad infinitum nonetheless) a monochrome ink painting sketch of the maestro as a warmup for actually painting (instead of procrastinating out of fear to irrevocably fuck it up, you know) the long intended watercolor portrait. And I thiiink I'm actually happy with how it turned out?? At the very least in case I won't be able to finish the main portrait there will still be this one, so it won't be nothing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#liam whispers into the void #art stuff #not fandom #music stuff #ronnie james dio #i mean. he did turn out rather somber in this one. but i blame listening to stuff like strange highways in the background #the eventual watercolor portrait is intended to have more warmth in it #ngl i love the ref photo for it so damn much #such a truly dioesque signature expression of softness+intensity #can only hope to do justice honestly. have kiiiinda managed it in the graphite sketch but not quite. not perfectly. ughhhh #(also i'm only now discovering that i'm hungry as hell. oh the donwside of having hyperfixated for hours)#(but am shadowing a trans voice lesson rn so gonna just wait. smh)
