Acrylic on Canvas 9"x13"First off, Canvas SALE at Aaron Bros. Buy 1 get the 2nd for a penny.
Just received an awesome Holiday/New Year's gift from my AIS alumni buddy, Josh. A perfect addition to my art book collection. It' s not heavy literature, but I've already gone through the first 10 chapters. It's sort of a "back to basics" drawing for animation type information, but I liked the section about "staying loose". I've seemed to have kept that mo-jo going with this latest portrait painting. I liked the way I was able to capture his beard,without painting in every strand of hair.
As for his necklace, I tried to make the mini cross a different color but it drew too much attention. I probably should have added a slight highlight on his necklace because it's totally lost in his chest hair.

Keeping it loose--much more difficult than many folks might imagine.Well done work here though--keep it up!
I very much love such portraits! Very artli.Good bye!
I really enjoy your painting technique, there's a lotta texture to it. Great work!
Thanks Steve, Lena and Mel for the kind comments. I'm hoping to post more digital art from MacWorld in San Francisco and Sketchcrawl #17 in Chinatown.
