Portrait Inspiration

Contemporary Artists


Christian Hook





Jimmy Law






John Larriva










I like the short-stroke style of Hook's and Law's portraits, where they focus more on the angles of the face than the details. I think for my facial structure and features, their fairly similar styles are something i should take into consideration. Though with Larriva, he has elements of short stroke, but there is a more whole shape in the faces and color.


Historical Artists


Egon Schiele





Valentin Serov




Schiele's style consists of shapes and colors not completely mixed on the basis of the black lines. Serov uses much more color in his portraits, while leaving some aspect of the piece "unfinished". Compared to the contemporary artists' full, more blended color appearance, the historical artists have a comparatively drafted style.
