Practice portrait painting with acrylic markers! I used Arrtx brush tip acrylic markers to “paint” this portrait. Acrylic markers dry quickly making them the perfect medium for practice. Develop an eye for tonal differences and contrast with little clean up.
I’ve used the grid method here again. It’s my go-to method for drawing faces. The initial drawing was done in a red colored pencil to give the work a warmth. You might like to try different colors for the initial drawing to see the different feelings they can evoke in a portrait.
