OK, for the record, that pencil sketch in the last post was a forensic police drawing of the original Unabomber, Theodore Kaczynski, based on eye-witness descriptions, not my portrait of Phil Laak!
Now we've cleared that one up...
See my portrait of the Joker on the floor? It's for sale if anyone wants it :-)
The Antonio portrait has reached the messy stage. I've just been blocking colour onto the canvas, trying to build up some early tones on the face and forehead, and blacked in some rough features as a guide to work around. A good couple of hours of work and this should start to look a little bit like who it's supposed to. Also, the backgrounds on the canvas are now going to be a dark red, to complement Dusk Till Dawn's graphic identity, so I will need to work over that black.
OK, this really is my portrait of Phil Laak, but don't worry, this is just a rough guide to help me lay the first block of paints on the canvas, so if you're thinking to yourself it doesn't look much like him, wait until I've done a little bit more. Hopefully, with a tiny spot of luck, it should turn out looking something like this handsome devil...
