Description from the historical medical drama series The Knick

Having a bit of an artist/writer's block this week so I thought I'd go back to doing studies for a bit.

ink, marker and white charcoal on tone paper

I always meant to watch this but I never got around to it! I'll have to track it down.

You shoooould. It's only 2 seasons long (for now...) but it's a nice complement to Boardwalk in all its dapper period finery.

(the only thing that isn't very historically accurate is the soundtrack but it's quite neat~)

Man I love the shading on the face, the subtle hatching is superb!

Thanks~! I find that the hatching is a good substitute for overworking the marker gradients.

The reference screenshot wasn't nearly as contrast-y, but I remembered what Nathan Fowkes said about always bumping up your contrasts, so Thackery looks like he's sweating here. But that's okay since he's often involved in high-stakes medical procedures.

This is beautiful, I can't stop looking at it~! The richness of this piece is really making me rethink the way I should practice. ^L^

thanks

I sorta want to swap the markers for charcoal powder and go super realism, but I'd also need spray fixative so it doesn't smear and I don't think my landlady would like me doing that... XD;
