With blood, sweat, tears and some negative
thoughts of quitting, I have finally mustered up the strength to complete my
first portrait. It is inspired by Gaks' very clean, minimalist style of
illustrating where he focuses most of his time and energy in perfecting hair.
This serves as the main attraction of the piece. The colouring is simple which complements
the facial features that have been stripped down to its most basic lines and
form. These aspects all form his signature and what I admire the most is how effortless
his portraits appear. Only in doing the portrait I understand the underlying
complexity of his work. Looks can be so deceiving.
