This is the final version. I noticed later.. I could've made his shoulders smaller... cause he's a little guy & also his forehead wider too... But.. I'm too lazy to go back to it. I wanna paint something else. lol.

This is obviously the photo I used for reference.

I figured I could also show you how I started from scratch. I sketched it a few times before I found the "LIKENESS" then the "SHAPE" that I wanted to use. Finally I "BLOTCHED IN THE COLORS" making it look sort of like a sculpture.. and then.. painted over it with more details like, "softening & blending", adding "DEEPER COLORS" & "DARKER SHADOWS". Then, last.. I just added some shoulders, neck details, shirt/buttons/jacket and scruffy-ness to his face & neck.

This painting is really awesome, that is the cutest nose I've ever seen!
Looks like you pasted in the shirt and jacket..
Adorable!!!
haha! thanks you guys! (I mean girls) lol!
yeah.. the shirt & jacket took a while to do. But.. I eventually was able to do it. I made up some of it.. cuz it wasn't showing in the original photo. I'm glad to be done with it though.. it took 4 ever! :)
Cool. I love Ray too.
