Messi being one of the greatest footballers in my lifetime, meant I was taking on an interesting task at hand.
Loosely plotting out the layout for the image with and starting to add detail to the shirt mainly as, I felt that would be the area that popped the most, and would draw the eye into the piece.
I decided to add in the black of the shirt first.
Then I added in the blue, and shading effects of the shirt.
From there I decided to tackle the hair and arms, for the hair used a brown colour to add a first layer, as I knew I was going to add a background that had a lot of black areas in, I needed a colour to separate the and lighten the hair a little first. The skin tones contained several colours with Ochre being the primary colour then a touch of blush pink and red with browns.
I was really liking how this piece was coming out at this point and contemplating leaving the background out totally. But in the end I decided to stick to the original idea. I have how ever decided to also draw Messi in this format on his own.
