No, not as good as I want to be. But I think this one is pretty good. Looking back I think the first one looks the closest so maybe I’m trying too hard?
Though coming from never painting a real person before I’m pretty happy overall.
Droporain (no idea how to tag people) asked for a young Sammy. This is him! Sort of, he’s probably in his 40s here.
perhaps the reason #1 stands out is because it has a unique eye shape and they feel like the focus of the piece. this one is very close though, love it!
