Pirate Bust

[smudger1960]

Thanks Brian!

I must of drawn about 40 sharks on a piece of paper before I got brave enough to free hand it on the bust. First to come up with a simplistic design and secondly to practice, in order to have that muscle memory to brush it on without goofing it up !

It suits the subject

Looks great Joe......but to be honest, was never a fan of this bust because of the "just lost my dog" look........But to be honest again, you made it work with a great paint job and by giving him a bad eye plus your natural working pics makes this an overall excellent piece of work..............

Wayne

Thanks Wayne! I really appreciate your comments.

Just lost my dog look,......I like that !

It suits the subject

I originally was going for a swallow tattoo on the chest, but the more I thought about it, this is a tough hombre with one eye out. So a shark it was. I was just hoping it wouldn't turn out looking like a mud sucker !

Thanks again!

Lovely work Joe, the skin tones are excellent and you've managed to inject really character and personality into his face.
