These are my first ever digitally drawn head poses. Being new to digital art and using a drawing tablet I wanted to practice these for future artworks focusing on proportion and rotation of the head in 3D space. Having achieved similar results through pencil drawings it was good to translate that skill to the digital form.
This artwork was inspired by the new release of Metal Gear Solid 3 (Delta): Snake Eater published by Konami. Having completed nearly all of the mainline series I’m a fan of the characters and story. This is a portrait of Big Boss, a legendary and recognizable character in video games. I wanted to create this iconic character in the comic book style rendering with thick inks, dramatic lighting and clear purposeful lines.
