OT - First attempt at acurrate Sports Portrait
Going to start painting as it is winter again. Thought I would try a portrait for my home office White Sox Theme. I am prepared to fail miserably as I have never done a realistic portrait. Here is my scetch on my primed canvas. 16" by 20" Lets see how this goes. If it sucks then in the garbage it goes.
Just thought I would share.

Jim Thome - right?
I admire everyone with artistic talent. I can draw stick figures, poorly at that. Best of luck with your art.

Glen:
Your sketch of Thome looks like a very good start.

I think it is outstanding, and very accurate. Better than good.
Seriously. Nicely done.
Based on what I see here, I hope you keep pursuing this.

Here is where I am at right now with 30 minutes of base color added.
Hopefully when complete it looks like a human.

Nice job on the face! What are you painting with? Mixed media?

It's not as good as the stuff Craig Kreindler does, but it's damn good. I think the Thome is shaping up better than the Buehrle.
When do you start taking commissions? I wish I had that kind of talent.Mike
Looking for any White Sox jersey from Richie Zisk.
