[ID: two headshot portraits on a white background. The person on the top left is an east asian man with a round face, a small mustache, and strands of long black hair framing his face with the rest pulled back into a ponytail. The person on the bottom right is a south asian woman with a narrow face, high cheekbones, and dark hair in bangs. /end ID]
i did these without any underdrawing, hence why i called them "freehand". they're both my ocs.
These rock.
I think the lack of underdrawing gives them a real looseness that feels natural.
I also like how the colors of the skin tones aren't really blended too much.
I don't typically like acrylic, but I think you're working with the texture it provides really well.
Thank you! And yeah, I like the dimensional look that not fully blending the colors gives. I think it works really well with acrylic because acrylic can't really achieve the same smooth look that oil painting gives.
