i really admire dan larimer, he's probably my favorite guy in the blockchain field.
i also like to draw interesting, peculiar faces. and dan larimer is a pretty weird looking dude so i had fun drawing him. unfortunately i only had like 1-2 hours of light left so i didn't get to finish, but i may return to it one of these days.
*this is not intended as a tutorial. just illustrating the various phases. i am self taught and have no actual system or method
first i get in some rough proportions. then lay in some features and hard shadows
then take some out and blend. and then add some more :)
once i am roughly satisfied with the proportion (i try not to get to preoccupied with "likeness", especially in charcoal cause its so plastic) i start laying in some characteristic details around those generic features.
then i blend the details and shadows and add detail shadows and lights. not really done here but in progress
cat is really grumpy. hope i get a chance to work on it a couple more hours
