Rodney @ 10 (in progress 2)

I transferred the sketch of Rodney to a piece of 18″x24″ plywood using graphite paper. The top image shows the plywood with the transferred sketch.

In the middle photo below I put some basic color down on the background and some preliminary shadows on his face to get an idea of how I want the lighting.

In the bottom photo the shadows and highlights on his face and arms are a little farther along, but still have a long way to go.
