Paul Giamatti

Day 37 Portrait.

Paul Giamatti, one of my favorite actors. The first movie I saw him in was Sideways I think and I liked him ever since. He just had that cheekiness, charisma and the subtleness in the humor in his roles.

So, the work. Graphite pencils on A4 sketch paper. Had a bit of struggle with this one in terms of resemblance of the actor, and did several adjustments of positining his lift eye (his left), but at the same time had fun with getting the shading of the skin right. I think, that part ended up quite nice.
