Michael Parisi

Couldn't get the feeling right on Michael all day yesterday gave me depression. Thank goodness I had two glasses of wine last night before bed so I could sleep. Drawing continued today and still so many complete erases until towards almost the end of the day, I finally got it right before I felt I'm gonna vomit blood from my internal organs due to exhaustion like those in Chinese Kung-Fu movies when helping reviving someone by giving all your energy.

I was super elated when it's finally coming together. Because this time is strange, I got it by tiny tweaks of here and there instead of erase the whole thing and start fresh like I usually do. Very weird and different process for me. 

I didn't dare to add any color at this point, so left it simple pencil drawing but I cut out the head and added the ivory color card as background. Also added letterset lettering that I've never done on portrait before, fun!
