Sachmo update

well worked on this guy some more yesterday, finally getting his nose right, I think I painted it over about 5 times. Still trying to get the eyes and shadows right. Waiting to hear from the client about this update....


I'm linking this one for Paint Party Friday because I have not gotten to do any other painting this week. Hope to get back to this guy this afternoon and get him finished up. Would like to deliver him soon. Check out the other artists participating by clicking on the link in the right side bar.
Sachmo 18x24 inches acrylic on canvas, work in progress

    I thought he was great before but you're right - the nose now is even better! Beautiful piece.

    thanks for the encouragement folks! I still need to work a bit more around the eyes but have the hope that I'm on the downhill side of this project!
