Description
This is another project for school. Gueeze it was hard. I had to paint it from a black and white photograph. It was an exercise to get me more in touch with the tone value of various colors and the cors used in skin pigments. But also to see what colors I can imagine and exadurate. That part of it made it REALLY fun because I could be more expresive in the colors I chose. I don't know what his name is so I am going to call this one Enliven because I consider giving somebody color a revitalization or a new life if you will. Plus, this guy looks like he is energized to me. I was finished in 1 & 1/2 weeks in acrylic paints. I hope you all enjoy it and have a fantastic day!-Drew Bob <^.^>

The hand-made ones you can buy at a craft store, that some people have in there bathrooms or framed on the wall because they think it looks nice? You might see it if you know someone who's into 60's/70's-ish stuff I think...

Thank you very much. I apriciate it. I know what you mean about the frowning, that is something that I have to spend a lot of attention to, because it is very easy to change the expression to something you don't want.
