I always color the bottom lip in like this as an underpainting and i always laugh because it looks like the character's pouting (i'm so sorry to everyone i draw)

My personal goal with this piece was to enhace my value structure, so, I started doing a value study before my underpainting, trying to define the big shapes and value relationships. Then, I move to place and work on the color key of the scene.

A bit cuter than usual. But keeping the sketch feels a lot like an underpainting and I really like it tbh

Frank Robinson getting ready for his close up-underpainting of prismacolor, oil, acrylic, conte'crayon powder on gel medium and gesso. Color hits soon. I love painting the 60-70's era dudes.

Scan and a little cleanup. If this were a concept for a modeler I'd keep the lighting pretty flat so they wouldn't have to guess at shadow detail. For a painting that was an illustration or part of a pitch I'd tint this the color of the underpainting and work back into it a lot.
