Painting of face
Painting of face did not really go well as the colours were not what I expected after it dry :(
Adding rain in the background and trying to fix skin colour
Use a good texture brush to add details and lines/strokes to the rain to add in atmospheric details, overall quite sastified with painting so far.
Adding colours to the coat.
This colour came out very well over a miracle with my friends unused colour as we decided to mix it up for fun, this green colour is one of my favourites.
Finish product (Outlining the coat)
Outline and added details to the coat to make it more significant. The outcome was great after adding multiple layers of colour to make skin colour perfect :)

In Vincent van Gogh portrait, I see his ear being covered in a bandage drawn using strokes.
The subject of the artwork is probably about life
In his portrait, I also see quite vibrant colours except for the dark green on his clothing which takes a rather huge part of the portrait.
There is also a poster at the back of wall behind him, which showstwo Japanese character in the poster with a mountain at the back,.
He looks depressed as well in his facial expression.
In his portrait, he has a bandaged ear, which probably shows that he is declining in his mental state and he is not feeling good.
In the poster behind him on the wall, the drawing seems like about the same style as Vincent van Gogh drawing style with lines and strokes, which probably shows that he is appreciative of his life as after doing research, this is one of his last painting before he dies. So I think he drew this to be appreciative.
As he looks solemn, I think his life is about to end and feels sad as he wont be able to produce and draw more paintings.
I wonder how he felt while drawing this one of the last painting of his life.
I wonder why is his hat blue and his coat in dark green colour as I wonder what negative thoughts does he provoke when using this colours.
I wonder and want to know more about the drawing on the wall behind him and what does it really mean instead of what I think.
