These portraits started as a personal way to wind down and start feeling better, while not being in a very good mood.

1bit felt nice and it was careless drawing process overall which kept me going. 

I've started with white on black approach, but after 6 drawings I've decided that opposite approach should be explored as well, which resulted with additional 6 drawings with black lines on white background. Honestly white on black was easier for some reason.

I present you 12 portraits, with random topics, some more rougher than other, and I can say I enjoyed creating each of them.

Let me know which one is your favorite and why?

@JuPa98 Thanks. It definitely helped, especially with first several drawings.

@Malleys Thank you, it's one of the ones as like as well.

@DukeDarer Thank you for the compliment. Everything started from that one, and interesting thing is I'm still not sure why I've added the stars. It felt right back then.

Lovely art. I like the first one with the three stars!

@Reo Thank you.  It's my first time doing these kind of sets, and considering that they are all improvisation without a specific theme (next to palette) to connect them, it's always interesting to hear which one attracts more attention any why.

@Vsigos Thanks. That one was more tricky than some of the others. For some reson hair was something I struggled with in the attempt to make it simple but still interesting. It's the design with the least solid black against the white which probably contributed to mentioned struggle.

These are all very good but 1, 11 & 12 stand out to me as the ones that project the most emotion.

Hard to pick just one (as every one of them is stylish a.f.) though I'm really fond of top right with that back tat detail! Excellent work.

@Hapiel Thanks. I agree she does look more calm than the others. I've tried to keep forms simple but still achieve some emotion in her expression. I was quite satisfied with results. :)

@Serbirus Thanks, I appreciate it. Honestly, while sketching large solid form of white beard seemed fun for me so I've build upon that.
Bald bearded guy with some strong expression is definitely a shorcut for a "Kratos tribute".

Wow, these are great!

Love that guy with the white beard, his expression is so pronounced! Reminds me of Kratos a bit.

Might have to try this myself as a good drawing exercise.

Each one is so strong and iconic! Super well done!
 
And uhm, my favorite? I guess I'll go for number 2. Having all these extreme characters and faces, which look great, make the more subtle and calm one stand out :)

@ut2ex Thanks, I appreciate the compliment. Few early ones could be a bit more polished, since they have done in shorter time periods, but I'm satisfied with the set overall.

@Flinigan Thank you. I rarely work with 1bit and it turned out to be more fun than I've expected.

@Slikkmatt Thanks. Actually Mojo is the only previously existing character there, not sure why portrait went in that direction, but my love for old Cartoon Network will obviously always be with me.

@GamesByBass I appreciate the compliment. Often inspiration are Italian black and white comics which were dominant here when I was a kid. I rarely had a money to buy them, but nowadays I slowly make up for that.

Those are fire! I like the guy in the middle left outside most. Looks like classic comic design, Bravo!


user
Slikkmatt (Level 4 Rubbish) @ 4/6/2023 15:25

Fantastic.  I like Mojo Jojo, mostly because he's the only character I recognise.
