The original painting was an odd 19"x31" so I had to build and gesso a canvas -- fun.
Drawing him out to scale...
About half way through I had to stop for a Diet Dr. Pepper break. BTW, if I was getting paid to say that about the Dr. I would be a gazillionaire by now...
He's hot (like a pot pie) and he knows it!
