Description
Portrait of my character Roy Ellis, wearing Russian clothes of the late 1800s.Definitely inspired by watching War & Peace on BBC.
I've been doing a lot of traditional painting for college these past months, and I think it's really helped me improve my digital painting skills. I used to use so many different layers for photoshop paintings, but now that I'm used to painting on canvas again, I prefer just one layer. Though it can be more challenging, I like blending everything like real paint.
I'm very happy with this piece, and I like to think it's a result of the master studies I've been doing in class. I hope to make more art like this in the future!

You should make this available as a Christmas card! I just love this painting, all the colours and details are so incredible. It really captures that winter feeling. And the face is so arresting - gets me every time! The different textures are great, like the furry hat versus the smooth berries. Such a breathtaking piece!

I love this! The attention to detail is astounding, the colors are rich and contrast so well together. I also really like how the berries overlap into the frame (and I just LOVE how you did all the berries!! They look so tasty and I can just imagine the crunch and then tart sweet taste filling in my mouth!). I hope you do at least a few more like this, it's so stunning!
