Jon

A portrait of my friend Jon as a gift to his birthday from a picture he uses as avatar. I started this some months ago as a sketch that I just continued to evolve. this was actually the first realistic styled portrait I started. I am happy with the level of detail in the face but the overall proportions turned out so and so. I also seriously need to work on my blending skills. :) Very difficult for to make things not entirely pitch dark and still a solid colour.. but I had to rush it in the end. Could be a matter of the paper I used a bit as well.. not sure.
