Description
Portrait Painting of Rapper J.Cole.
Process
I used a big black marker for the outlines this time. Next I painted the (facial) hair and filled the face. For the hair I used Magenta, a bit of Cyan and Yellow and Ivory Black. For the face I used all primary colors to create the different skin tones. For the darker areas I used more Cyan (blue). Then I filled the background with teal (mixed Primary Cyan with Primary Yellow). The reference showed some blueish/greens in Cole’s face which I exaggerated a bit. It matches nicely with the background I think. Finally I added some details but left the black marker coming through in several places. One of the most enjoyable parts is finally taking the masking tape off, which leaves a nice one inch border around the artwork.
