So this is very rough. Still a sketch. Now, I'm not sure whether I want to continue digitally or traditionally. Could I get some input?

Also, colour or black and white, as far as digital painting goes?

Ignore the weird white spaces on the face. I was correcting the proportions really lazily. Can you tell who it is?

Thanks! :) I'll post the results here when it's done.

Robert Plant. Eeeeasy. Good sketch, man.

EDIT - It's obviously a copy of this (http://groovyvic.mu.nu/archives/images/Robert_Plant02.jpg), right?

[Veeduck]

Yeah, it's a copy of that.

Yours looks a lot angrier, but that's not an issue at all. It's coming along nicely, I think. I'm pretty good at doing real life sketches of people so I guess if yours wasn't great I'd give some advice. Only thing I can advise really, is to take as much time as possible on the hair. I rush it sometimes because it gets tedious and it's never worth it.

The eyes are pointing in different directions. The face is also pointing in a different direction to your reference but differences like that are fine really (as Derelict said), unless of course you want it to look as much like your reference as possible- which is why I pointed it out.

Right now, that looks good. He does look angry, it's probably the shading on the eyebrows.

It's looking good so far, It will definitely turn out very well.

As for traditional Vs. Digital? I'd go with Traditional.

Agreeing with this thread, it's very well done. My only qualm is that his chest makes it look like he's got small breasts, which kinda threw me off for a second.

To me it looks like he's extremely skinny, but I just might not be seeing the overall shape. I thought it was a manly looking woman until I saw the reference. I think traditional and in color would be best, personally.

Im going to have to go with everyone else on this page (bandwagon anyone?)
I think it should be done traditional in color to be the best option. However, if you did want to just take this rough sketch and upload it and fool around with both methods of finishing it that might help you figure out what gives the best result. Thats personally what I would do but Im an idiot.

Black and white is my vote.
