Description Full speed painting video and much more of this painting here on my site: [link] . Check it out!

With my version of Fred I wanted to make him a bit darker... haunted. Haunted by the terrifying things he has seen. And especially by the decisions, as the leader of the Mystery Team, that he has been forced to make. Decisions that have affected him and the group deeply. Much like a leader in reality must make difficult decisions Fred has had to make some that weigh heavily on him, and I wanted that to be evident in his face. Especially his eyes.In the original cartoon Fred was interested in creating traps, martial arts, and weight lifting . So I had to add the "Do you even lift" sticker. Fred was also very superstitious. The rabbit's foot was something I felt he would have attached to his shotgun for good luck.Of course he has extra ammunition for his shotgun strapped across his chest, but perhaps the most important weapon the Mystery Team possesses is Scooby-Doo! And we all know how to motivate him. SCOOBY SNACKS. So Fred has Scooby snacks strapped to his harness right next to his ammo. And finally if you didn't know Freddy is an official Sasquatch hunter .

I really like the eyes.
Gotta say I've always wondered about scars like that, the ones that go over the eye. Only rarely is the eye ever damaged, just something I've noticed in art.
Stubble is a good detail, though it's rather full for Fred being a young guy (he's got lucky genetics, for some guys there are parts that take years for hair to fill in fully - like around the corners of the mouth).

I have that exact scar on my face. A cat scratched me when I was a baby. Never touched my eye ball. Strange I know. But I am grateful! I think instinctively we close our eyes whenever they are bumped so most of the time the eye lid does some damage control. And the eye is sunken in a bit from the brow and the cheek too. The stubble is all part of the theme. The Mystery Team is all grown up now! Good thoughts!
