Art - Game of Thrones - portrait studies!
Hey everyone!
Last year I spend a while making a series of portraits of my favourite Game of Thrones characters.
Making studies is always very important when you want to get better.
What you learn when studying, you can apply to you imaginative works. So if you make studies making realistic portraits like these, you learn more about facial anatomy and features and how skin colors reflects/reacts in certain light.
There are tons of things you learn when taking the time to really sit down, and try to make the best representation of the subject you are studying.
I can't advice it enough to aspiring artists.. do you studies! Just making work from imagination is fun and sure, u will learn things on your own.. but not in the same pace as making studies, from live, from other artists, movie stills and books.
Anyway! Here are the portraits I was talking about ;)
Especially the ones in the very muted light, like Arya and Mellisandre I found the most difficult.
But it helped me get better at what I do, so it was all very much worth it! :)
Hope you like it!
If you have any questions, please feel free!
Cheers!

Being a science students I must say science is also a art. There is no existance of the world without art.
yes you are right, it is very necessary to keep studying make yourself better.
The portraits are really lively and beautyfull.
Those are really really great. I'm myself a fan of portraiture for some time now , but definitely not as goid. Still a long way until I reach your level but will try:)
