Simple Portrait

Well. Yeah. Ahum, not really artistically high standing or anything but merely a simple portrait to test Corel Painter. Which is a crazily difficult program to get a hang of, by the way. I feel threatened by the sheer number of different media and brushes. Oh Photoshop, je t'aime ta simplicité...
But I digress. A simple portrait, which makes me very happy nonetheless.(oh, and in two color tones because I can't decide which one's better)

Pre-Kiwi: Stylized

Not anyone or any thought in particular, but rather the outcome of an absentminded sketch and too many animations. Somewhere along the way my mind decided this would look really good in just black, red and white. It's no reference to the White Stripes in any way.
