It's not often that I paint directly from scratch with no sketch or line art, so I wanted to share this one. It's a risky technique, and I'm even eyeballing all the perspective, no grids here. I also avoid blending and smoothing, showing the brushstrokes on the canvas more clearly. I'm doing this to incorporate 'errors made naturally by humans', and I like it. It feels closer to the spontaneous style I like in my ballpoint pen sketches.

@davidrevoy I have a couple of illustrators in my family (partner, nephew) and I'm always insisting in that, to my humble taste, the more artistic, expressive, interesting, poetic, etc., version of their draws, is that which they call drafts, sketches, etc. I understand the ideas of clean and polished, but for me the magic is mostly in that primitive or improvised phase, where the creative search is still an uncut gem, let's say... I guess, tastes. But for me, seems like live music, let's say. ❤️

@rival 💜 Thank you. I sort of learn more and more to appreciate this small "built-in' mistakes that I have hard time to correct while sketching or painting directly (eg. Like on this ballpoint pen sketch on my sketchbook). Those 'honnest mistakes' due to the process itself and skill is a good "human made" signature in our times. When I post fix my art too much, I get comment suspicious that I used AIgen now anyway. 😆

@davidrevoy I really love this. Really beautiful work. ♥️ 👏 I guess is in general the aesthetics of preference to me. But this illustration in particular is awesome. 🤗
