A couple thumbnails for an idea I had for a painting. At this point I’m just trying to figure out general placement and proportions, I’ll do another round of sketches better describing his expression and clothing etc. I had been thinking of going with the portrait versus landscape orientation, but seeing them all next to eachother, I’m less sure. I like the vertical arrangement, but having open space ahead of him is nice. If I stick with my plan, the final piece is going to be 16″ x 20″.
