The lockdown art challenge either never ended or has started up again. And there’s nothing to do but sit about practicing styles.
This is a portrait of local Teesside musician Micheal CG in the style of Aubrey Beardsley.
It’s a simple black and white illustration (actually black and beige to mimic paper colours) with elements that Beardsley used in some of his popular more illustrations (a statue, repetitive patterns) – and some more specific for this portrait (fairy lights, a Pekingese dog)
I like the continuation of the background (suggested using line density) through the shirt. I also like the little peke statue. I’d try a few other compositions with this style, I mean, if I have the time.
