Art meme #3 - Kevin for de_nugis

[amberdreams]

I was going to do something a bit more fancy and add the angel tablet somehow, but thought this ended up looking better nice and simple.
The palette de_nugis chose was number 16

I initially thought this would be very pale and not very Kevin but actually it was perfect on a black background.
And here is Kevin the Prophet, advanced placement.


I used this photo of Kevin as my reference, and painted it in PaintTool Sai because that allows that lovely soft blending.

Edited to say - any concrit gratefully received!

I'm also exploring blending with this meme. Haven't got the hang of it. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I'm also perplexed by a palette now. This meme really pushes me...

I'm treating the blending in Sai like I would if I was using watercolours on paper (with the massive bonus of an undo!!!). In Photoshop though, it really doesn't work like that so I've given up for now. At the moment I'm using GIMP for some things, PS for others and Sai for colouring!
