Details
I was looking for something special and had no ideas. Suddendly, my brother and I watched a trailer of the series on Netflix called “Peaky Blinders”. I started watching them. I really liked the character of “Thomas Shelby” and I liked his style. Of course, also his performance in the film.
I researched for an interesting perspective. Exicted to explore the skin tones and the bright colors of their clothes at this time catched my interest. I had to rework the face in some places. And that’s probably the small details who finally makes the difference. You maybe don’t believe but some portraits I had to redraw from scratch or at least optimize them for hours.
