Patreon exclusive portrait study :) (Patreon)

Did this study a while back of Joe Hisaishi who is the composer behind many studio ghibli movies. I absolutely LOVE the lighting here. You'll notice the bright direct light from above shining straight down, which results in a vibrant warm bounce light hitting the bottom facing surfaces on his face. I was able to try out more vibrant colours and intricate textures here as well. Overall a fun study that has not been posted before! The files and reference will be attached below!
