It's not Billy Crystal but I like the image. I started with a number of sketches and approaches. One of them was the usual inked version, one was big areas of watercolor like texture. The final, because I'd seen someone on Instagram do this, was more of a traditional approach using a brown-scale underpainting, building color up on top of that. It's not a good portrait, and I'm ok with that. I think the approach is worth remembering. Again, I like it. And I suppose that's a good thing.

So natural looking! Not a likeness but still a great piece of art. I like the colour palette quite a bit.
