Another attempt at this young man. Someday, I will look up his name. I got the ref from a screen grab from an episode of "Landscape Artist of the Year." I just don't remember which one. I did a digital painting before but wasn't utterly pleased with it. Worked a lot on this, leaving it for a few days as I wasn't sure. Watching a documentary on David Hockney, I thought about changing the color of the outline to something less in keeping with the rest of the image. That's what made the difference. This fits the current 'style,' still in the sort of semi-Japanese woodblock print style I've been leaning towards. Still not a precise likeness but I like the image.

If you made a book of all these with the blog posts included to describe the ideas and process I think that would be super interesting.
I'm actually in the process of doing just that. Wasn't going to use the blog posts, but I was going to talk about the making of the images. Thanks!
