Art Styles Assignment: Marek Okon

Marek Okon is a digital artist who specializes in extremely realistic scenes and characters with an incredible level of detail. For the character i created (Murasaki) i had to create a bust in the style of Mareks work. Having never even attempted anything like this before i was extremely apprehensive and wassnt sure whether or not i would be able to achieve a certain level of realism in my piece.

I started off by sketching the rough proportions of the face and once i was happy with that, began to block some of the colours such as the skin tones, highlights and hair. Once that was completed i then began adding finer details such as shadows, blending the skin and the eyes and hair.

Overall i am extremely happy with how this piece turned out, with a little bit more work on skin tones and details such as highlights and shadows i think the would be my favourite piece i have done in this 1st year of university.
