When I first got into digital art I was constantly looking for subjects to practice with. It can get a little dull drawing strangers who you know nothing about and even duller drawing yourself all the time. I stumbled across a great community on reddit called r/redditgetsdrawn where users submit photos of themselves they would like to have made into art. It's really a special little community because even though there is no pay so many artists would paint/draw/sketch amazing creations for them. Below I have included 4 of my black and white portraits that I gifted.
During this period I was just getting used to digital so I was experimenting with lots of different styles!
These portrait sometimes came with stories or special moments attached so they were really a pleasure to make. I will be uploading more of these practice experiments in the future.
