Lunch break painting #2 !

Today I was really looking forward to lunch break cause then I could paint some more! Haha not that I'm NOT painting when I work but it's not the same, it's more fun to do my own stuff and come up with imaginary faces rather than paint existing ones. Anyway, I call this dude Danyel, cause it's more cool with a Y in Danyel instead of an I. Or something. He is, just like Monja, based on an old drawing I've done.
I am more happy over how he turned out compared to the painting I did yesterday, he has got a more realistic look to him (although his head isn't really anatomically correct at all...) and I'm a bit proud of myself that I managed to do that without any references at all. I think it's good training cause then you have to try and remember things instead of looking at other images. Not saying that references are bad, I believe they are very good and essential, but I feel like I get so locked down if/when I look up references, it's like I can't think on my own if I do and it ends up with me just copying the references :c.
