ok, i quit...that's insane.

ok i wont quit ..it just blows my mind. the technique on the hat, leather and vest are amazing to me as i'm just starting with acrylics.

i was so happy that my Sharpie bust wasn't cross-eyed hahaha ...

really inspiring Ernesto, thank you for sharing

great sbs Ernesto. that way to work remembers me to Sang-eon lee method. i use some similar to work with oils, but before i sketched the lights and shadows with acrylics. i should try to use it just with acrylics like you

you're style is very personal with your usual use of yellowish and violet tones, specially in the face. you can see the face of a miniature and know if it's yours!

great work
