So as promised, this week is a picture of Jonathan Coulton (the inspiration of painting fifty two pictures this year). I had a quick smurf of the tinterwebs and found a picture of him not on stage, looking rather casual. I liked the pose and lighting so have gone with a zoomed in portrait from this pic.
So it’s Monday and the sketch is done. For portraits I like to follow the techniques from a cool book I think was called “Watercolour People”. That means my sketch is full of small areas of tone, and looks a little bit like a paint by numbers kit!
Anyhow, here is progress for day one.
