Painting Portraits, Start to Finish, for Esquire Magazine

Walkthrough of my portrait painting process , from the drawing to finished painting. I was recently asked to create a couple portrait illustrations for Esquire UK, who I've worked with several times over the years.

This art was completed using colored pencils, acrylic paint, and bristol vellum paper.

Apologies for the overexposure on video- this page is, and always will be, a work in progress.
