Silver-Haired Scholar Built from Color Planes
Rough dry-brush edges and opaque color blocks paint a round-glasses scholar as a concept-art sheet.
✍️ Slate-blue suit, ivory shirt, dark brown tie: all three colors are muted with gray, so the face has room to show its color. "Color planes" is the keyword: facial features are left to blocks of color, so even rough strokes won't blur into mush.

A handcrafted character concept illustration, painterly in feel. Its sole subject is an older male expert seen in tight close-up, cropped at head and shoulders so that his face occupies most of the canvas. Behind him: a flat, neutral gray backdrop with nothing else in it.
Appearance: silver-gray hair combed backward, round black eyeglasses, an elongated angular face marked by natural wrinkles. He looks thoughtful and serious, his head held upright and aimed straight ahead. His suit is a muted slate blue, worn over an ivory shirt with a dark brown tie.
Paint handling: angular, bold strokes; wide opaque patches of gouache and oil paint; rough dry-brush edges; contours that are deliberately broken. Instead of fine detail, the features are expressed as painted color planes, which still read as softly sculpted, dimensional forms. Skin and fabric stay matte. A strong directional light casts gentle cool shadows, and the palette is restrained and earthy. --v 8.2 --ar 2:3 --no full body, extra people, photography, glossy CGI, plastic skin, text, watermark
