I added all of this to my ever growing list! I have never drawn a monkey or seen one up close! This will be... interesting. The one with the statue and the one with MT would probably look best as full illustrations and, since there should be better photos of those places somewhere, I'll be able to practice my background drawing skills as well :'D
I started painting Fredersdorf today! The background is done and I'll do my best not to screw up the face tomorrow :D after asking my boss, i ended up opting for acrylic paint after all. He'll probably get a glossy varnish though, so he'll look real fancy (provided I don't mess up). One thing I'm already liking way more about this one after my last acrylic piece is the size! The Katte picture is 60x60cm and this one is only 24x30. That makes handling it a whole lot easier and I can actually work at a desk instead of covering my apartment in old newspapers and crouching on the floor :'D
I just read a somewhat mean sounding article about how no portrait ever got Fritz's nose right, so as soon as I'm done with my exam next week (this class has been over since late June, I don't remember shit, shoot me), I'll probably do some digital sketches of Fritz with the death mask as a reference to figure out how to portray him at different ages. I feel like that might be fun and I want to get the nose right :'D Might combine that with drawing him with Heinrich. Just a small-ish (meaning: non-shaded) digital piece to get a grip on how to draw their uniforms.
