Hi,
Back in October, my friend Valen and I were sketching at a nearby Whataburger in Mesa, AZ, and I noticed a man standing near the door.
The guy had an amazing face with loads of character—and I told Valen wanted to do a portrait study or caricature of him.
I settled on doing a more formal portrait and have been working as time allowed—hand painting it into software using my Wacom Intuos Tablet Interface.
I just put the finishing touches on it this morning.
As with everything I tackle when it comes to art, I learned a lot by doing this one and am eager to do like it.
--------------------------------
BTW—I neglected to get this man's name or email to let him know that his portrait is done—so if you know who he is please share this link with him.
If you're the subject—thank you again for letting me snap some pics of you for this.
