Antonio Radic, Agadmator’s Chess Channel

Today I’m going to show you an amazing portrait that you’re going to want to show to all your friends at the bar and library.  This is Antonio Radic, creator of Agadmator’s Chess Channel on YouTube.  It’s the best chess channel on YouTube.  There’s one other that comes close but that I stopped watching that one after the creator started advertising Bitcoin on his channel.  I won’t give him any publicity here.

I’m starting to think ahead to how my set of six portraits will work as a collection.  I already have one in greys, one in greens and one in blues.  One of the final two I have planned will be in reds and the other might be in lots of colours.  The colour in my set that was feeling underused was the purple, so I thought I’d use purple as a background in this one.  With no lighter purples around to create a purple monotone, I instead went for the greys again for the main portrait but deliberately stayed away from the black pen so that this one would look different to Hector from yesterday.

And now feel free to pause the post and win the game for the Artistic Actuary while I give you a couple of seconds.

So for those of you that were able to spot this brilliancy, congratulations.  And for those of you that want to enjoy the show, it is the b4 that I added on Antonio’s lapel, always an excellent move and it was at this point that I stopped drawing as there was nothing more to be done here.  The likeness is again amazing.  The portrait looks as if it’s been torn out if a newspaper and stuck down on a purple card. Antonio’s up for sale but if the man himself wants it, I’m happy to send it out to Croatia for free.

So that was the portrait.  I hope you guys enjoyed it; thank you all.  I will see you all soon and have an excellent rest of your day.
