Ethan needs some pants. Yesterday I worked on Ethan’s face, hands, and shirt. Everything but his pants. Today I will put some pants on him, although I like the surreal look of having the clouds for pants. I liked the way the others looked with the clouds coming through too, maybe I will paint another and try out a cloud shirt or something. I like the texture of the cloud underpainting. Ethan is nearly there. There is something about his face that looks a little young, I’ll measure things today and see if his chin is a fraction on an inch too short. Part of the problem might just be that his head is cut off. And that’s how it is. I had so much trouble getting the stripe colors in the right place, it’s easy to get mixed up when it’s just a line drawing. In the end I was able to make the red/blue pattern.
