Another experimental portrait to try a few brushes and rendering methods. It ended up too "cartoony", which wasn't what I wanted, so I'm not too happy with it, but...whatever, it was born as an experiment and that's what it is.

I always liked ancient Egypt, so I decided to draw this little tribute to the "heretic" pharaoh Akhenaten, the only monotheistic pharaoh in history and certainly one of the most fascinating (with a fascinating queen too: Nefertiti).

Hi :wave:! I was just having a browse about the site and happened across your gallery. This piece in particular caught my eye. I can see what you mean about the "cartoony" aspect here, but I feel it's a great image regardless. I too have always been fascinated by ancient Egypt, though I know far less that I'd like about it. I love the minimal use of colour and the usage of light and shade here, in particular. Very nice work, I feel... :D

haha cool, I'm glad I didn't totally waste my time with this thing. I wish I had worked more on the right side, but now it' done.
Anyway, I'm planning more ancient Egypt drawings, because I like it since I was a teen. It's a fascination meant to stay with me forever I guess. :D
