Progress always involves risk; you can’t steal second base and keep your foot on first.

F.W. Dupee

I woke up early, really early, like before 5am early. Killer backache. :/ I’m better now, but I had to get up, and move around. I’m still plugging away at this boy in oils. I fixed his eyes and the shadow on his neck this morning. I think I messed his nose up in the process, but it’s an easy fix. I’m not sure where I’m going with it next. The reference photo I’m using is black and white, so I’m making up his skin color as I go along. Sometimes, I think I nail it, but other times..eh. It’s going to take a while. When it’s finished I’ll gather all the progress shots together into one post.
