I drew this guy while watching 60 Minutes. It doesn’t work very well to draw people on tv who are in sit-coms, because they all seem to look alike, but news shows have more interesting faces.

Awesome! The back of my piece looks cool too – but I forgot to take a picture before I affixed it to the canvas. Oops.
He turned out great, front and back!
Great job! Thanks for turning me on to Jane’s site also. I have seen this style of art and really liked it. I always wanted to give it a try. Anything you can tell me to help get started I would appreciate!
