LIFE DRAWINGS FROM PHOTOREFERENCE #183: Another stab at Sean Connery as 007! (Patreon)

So!
A recent Distressed Damsels post (for the $5+ tiers) featured a commission request for SF heroines Rose & Lily bedamseled by the Sean Connery iteration of James Bond. Alas, I couldn't quite pull off the Connery resemblance in the final piece, so I thought I'd try again with an especially striking and well-lit Bond photo I'd saved to my ref folder:
Wellp, I captured the lighting well enough (which was the more important element from this effort), but once again the resemblance largely evaded me:
Then again, I've never had any training whatsoever in capturing resemblances; in fact, I've considered taking a caricature course of some sort to help me gain a better grasp of how to exaggerate and differentiate more strongly the faces I'm drawing in my photoref sessions.
Note, BTW, that this piece was drawn in iOS Clip Studio Paint using the Design Pencil brush which, oddly enough, performs much, much better on the iPad than on the Wacom Cintiq. Mysterious, I say!
However, this particular illo was not yet complete at this point. After finishing the Bond portrait, I enlarged the canvas and drew a bedamseled Rose next to ol' Sean with results that were rather more mixed, though still quite interesting and somewhat promising; alas, viewing of that revised illo will be reserved for the $5+ tiers in another Distressed Damsels post later in the month.
NEXT TIME ON THIS HERE PATREON: No idea, TBH, as to what might be coming up in our next M/W/F slot. Let's find out together, shall we?
