Mike

I am continuing onto the larger portrait of this piece.  As you can see, this larger image is a portrait of Mike later in life.  It will take many many layers and I am currently just working on getting the depth to the portrait I need before I can put any details into it.  I have recently been working on his hair and trying to get some variation in the strokes to make the hair look more real.  The advantage of this piece is that it is a good size so when it's all done, there will be a lot of life brought out by the depth of the layers.
