Here is piece I was working on last night. The guy I originally painted with an all green suit but I decided he looked to much like a leprechaun. So I made his pants brown and his short plaid. The couple are supposed to be sitting . I did not draw in the chairs but I hope they look like they are not doing some weird dance.
I spend a lot of time painting backgrounds , that will be covered up
My friend once told me . The best thing you can do in art is paint something really cool and then cover it up. I do spend a while painting a background and then painting over 80% of it. But I feel like it makes the finished product better. Sometimes I take photos of the under paintings (mostly I don't , but I try to document it more)
Here are some examples.
This is the underpainting (see link for finished product)

When I was in High School , I drew many cartoon Puns . Seeing that I am a huge Pats fan I sketched a quick Pun-toon regarding The Patriots stellar RB Legarrette Blount.
