More digital life painting

This started out as a caricature, then I reined it back in as I was painted---that's why there's so much proportional weirdness. I am happy with the colors, though. I think this was about 90 minutes






















Also, I finished my last class at school, I'll be officially graduated in April. I feel like I should hand out cigars or something. Or was that for the baby?

Nice colors, Sam. I know that it is hard to see color when you are looking into the shadow side and the spot light is shining in your eyes.

Hi Sam! Frankly INCREDIBLE! I have not seen as complete an illustrator in my life. A large drawing, a large colour, very good people, very good backgrounds, infant, cartoon, realistic ... You do what gives you the win! You are the best that I have seen in much much time.I am Spanish illustrator, also professor of illustration. I will give you to know that the whole world knows. Thanks for paint and put it on your blog.
