Light + Dark, Alexander McQueen Model Drawing

This portrait is based from an Alexander McQueen model; I like to draw people that I see as I scroll on my Instagram news feed, picking up on light and tones and attuning them to shapes and colours. I work in this way as an observer, which is a conscious decision. Although portrait artists usually get to know their sitter, I prefer a distance in my work between the subject and what I portray. This can be seen in the artwork itself by the stylised, colourful and often flat, 2d digital image that I create. All of my work is hand-drawn on my laptop trackpad using a free software similar to MS Paint. Previously I have painted with oil, but I tend to use unconventional methods; with oil, I use a barbeque skewer rather than a paintbrush. This allows me to paint more freely and accurately, as I am able to use one skewer for many different techniques, whilst not using more formal methods and paintbrushes which I can find more complicated.
