Description
I’ve been pretty unsatisfied with my own work lately, it was beginning to feel pretty stagnant. I feel like I’m starting on a whole new learning curve, which is nice. As much as I appreciate all the previous positive feedback on my work, I don’t want to be known as ‘the chick that draws the pretty girls!’ So anyway! A fresh painting. I’m ashamed to say I’ve never really painted an old person (holy crap, wrinkles are fun.) I can officially scratch that off my list! This was a total breath of fresh air :]Photoshop & Wacom Intuos 3, around 3-4 hours.

Incredible work! I just completed a drawing of chief Red Cloud today myself. My first time as well with an older person. My favorite part to draw on mine anyway was the face. What was yours?

Old native chief is the perfect practice for wrinkles, that and Mother Teresa. You should do more native, warriors, war parties, tribal ceremonies, have some fun.

This is amazing. I'm Native American and I've been raised in that culture, so seeing this makes me really happy. Amazingly well done, too.

You have achieved to lure an emotion out of my soul
where I feel connected with this tribe. His eyes are
extremely powerful in this painting. There is no doubt
of his wisdom as his eyes tell a story.
Thank you for inspiring me.

Wrinkles are great. I've recently done a lot of clint eastwood sketches, thus I could go all out.
On your art I love the wrinkles and the look in his eyes.

this is very good.
but i have one notice though:
you preserve that warmth in your characters' eyes. i don't know if that is intended or not, but i can see it and looks like your art signature...
