Joaquin

Last night at work I had "Ring of Fire" stuck in my head due to all the Oscar stuff. One thing led to another, and soon enough I found myself drawing Joaquin Phoenix. He's such a good actor.

I'm still playing around with that style that I've been trying out in a few recent pics, and it was fun trying it out for this picture. I know this definitely isn't one of my best, but I did enjoy making it. I drew and inked this on watercolor paper and then painted over it with a series of ink washes. Then I scanned it and did the coloring in Photoshop with my tablet.
