I was at the dentist today, and showed them my recently rediscovered photo of 1983 Gary. (And yes, then I made a guttural noise.) I haven’t done anything in the Venetian style for a while, where you make a black and white painting and then glaze the top layer with color.
This seemed like a good subject. I have no colors in the photo for reference, but maybe that’s where it will get loose.
Here we go.

Good luck! Humans are the hardest. (I was indeed wondering if the head to shoulder-width ratio was a bit off…)

Foreshortening is a real thing! and yes, foreshortening looks weird until enough gets sorted that it stops looking weird…
