I know he's kind of fat, but I used photoreference and he looked like that on the photo and I liked it. Thanks for the comment though! :)

That's way better than my first painting, photo ref or not. :P I like the texture of the brushstrokes a lot - it sort of reminds me of Impressionism. I think if you used the same brush technique only with a lot more paint, it would give the painting sort of a richer look to it. Unless i'm retarded and this is watercolor, in which case that idea just wouldn't work. ^^;

It looks good! I like it :D

Thanks. You're not retarded, I used acrylics but I don't have any white, (it's gone all crumbly) so I had to paint just the shadows. I'll get some white one of these days I hope. crosses fingers :)
