Reinventing The Tattoo Forum

This is within my first 5 portraits. I really took the time to be sure I was ready to start getting into realism with recognizable faces (family members and such). this reinventing is a main staple in me being confedent enough to finally be able to make the jump. Definitely  with starting mag first and tightening with smaller rounds and really leaving the "liner/shader" idea behind and growing into a more painterly style. Let me know what you think thanks for any advice........ the piece is Michael fossbender from the new assassins creeed film
