Justin McGuire Portrait


This is a portrait I recently finished. I originally started this as a study I wanted to do off of a photo I had taken of him while doing a photo shoot for a family portrait.

As I progressed, it went from a study to a full color portrait. and is one of my best yet.

I used washes of orange and green in the background covered in layers of neutrals to darken them. The orange creates a nice contrast for the blue shirt which I then had to darken with subtle washes of orange and dark neutrals because it popped way too much.
