Westworld oil sketch in moleskine (+STEPS)

Have you ever questioned the nature of your reality?

After watching the 4th episode of Wesworld's new season I did this small oil sketch of Bernard in my moleskine. Love this character and that particular scene was truly fascinating. So here we go:

I've done quick pencil drawing to solve the structure of the head and likeness on the page which was primed with simple white gesso.

Sealed the drawing with acrylic medium, after did quick burnt umber wash to establish nice warm midtone which would help to get the skin tones nicely

While waiting for wash to dry I've decided to premix my basic piles of colors:

Now it's time to paint. Started from the nose:

As you can see area of the nose and muzzle has all the values and color tones so it's easy to nail all these things in the beginning.

Continue to paint from the center, going back and forth

Painting background and top of the head, when these parts are right and nice to finish this sketch is just a matter of time

In a couple of days it will dry and I will cover it with varnish to restate the richness of the colors and keep painting safe. I hope you dig it!
