The feeling of the Middle Ages-

some examples of portraits that I did in the past, the goal is to simplify rendering into some brush strokes. In this process I use image references to further accelerate the target understanding of the correct volume and lighting. but there are also some of these exercises that are out of my imagination. never post anywhere so if you like it I'll post more here.
