That Crazy Van Buren...


This is a little character study for a Presidential porterait I have been given as one of my new projects. The goal with this is just to secure a strong likness of which ever President I decided to do. After choosing Van Buren, I figured a sketch to try to capture his "look" would be the best place to start.

  1. Alex, this is a great little sketch. I've never seen you do facial details like this before, and I definitely like it! Do you have any plans yet for the final composition?

  2. Thanks Eric, and no haha I have no idea what direction i want to take this composition just yet. I know I want to try to make it more then just a portrait, maybe introducing some graphic elements in to the mix, but if it has to look appropriate... I need to mess with it still.
