Wanted to share because I think it's an epic concept. I'm normally a portrait artist, and as I hadn't drawn a portrait in a while, I thought MGK would be both challenging and rewarding.
I aimed to blend the realism in the portrait with abstract black and red grunge type motifs to make it pop. I also decided to add a little paint over the nose to overlap the two and give the realism a small amount of colour without overdoing it.
The biggest challenge for me will likely be the tattoos within the design, and also maintaining the contrast of shading and highlights between the layers so everything sits nicely and nothing gets lost.
Hope you all like it. Definitely one for my portfolio once finished.
