portrait sketching case study : John wick

in #fineartnow6 years ago

As i am a big fan of keanu reeves, i decided to watch John wick 2 after i heard a good reviews everywhere about how good this movie is (almost 90% score on rotten tomatoes) , and yes, the movie did not disappoint me at all, it was even better than the first one, and i think the director made a great job with action sequences and filmography, also the hidden irony inside the structure of this movie was just perfect;

I think that one of the main reasons which makes john wick a memorable movie is the characterization, each character in this movie is unique, special and has it's own sets of actions, which made me think to try to draw john wick and see what i will came up with, and it will be also a practical lesson for portrait drawing, so enough chit chat and lets get dirty,

Here comes the question : what makes john wick's face unique in this movie? please take a look at some photos of keanu's face i have took from the movie, you will see that keanu has shaped black beard, with long strait hair, a thin long face with small Asian like eyes ( his father is Hawaiian ), that's why drawing this face is a bit difficult.

this is my first attempt, not bad

here i sketched his face in a different position, little bit toward the side.

this is my third attempt, and you can see that the eyes still need to be adjusted little bit, in general those sketches are rough and i will try to clean and shade them in the near future .
