Carlo Ancelotti
A portrait of Carlo Ancelotti for The Gaffer — football's most unflappable manager, drawn for authority and ease rather than theatrical intensity.
About the Project
Ol' Carlo. The legend himself.
The gaffer of all gaffers.
This one was less about theatrical intensity and more about that rare mix of authority, ease and total self-possession that makes him recognisable from across a room.
I also made every brush I used on this portrait, in Procreate.
(Just sayin'.)
Open any figure to inspect surface, print detail, and framing more closely without losing the overall sequence.
Authority, ease, and total self-possession — up close, it's mostly in the eyes and the hair.
Every brush on this portrait is one I made myself, in Procreate. (Just sayin'.)
Sequence note
