A friend of mine Michael Danko was nice enough to sit down for a couple hours portrait practice. Had him watch a movie so It would not get boring for him. This is the first time I tried doing a digital painting from someone actually sitting in front of me. It was admittedly a pretty ghetto set up haha. I ended up finishing from a photograph because I did not want to torture the guy.
