I got a few days off this week so I decided to do something for myself.
I am a HUGE fan of Chaplin, and I've been wanting to do a portrait of him for a few decades, so this was a good chance to pull out my paint brushes.
A few preliminary sketches.
Final drawings of the characters
By this time, the lines had been washed off, so it helps to refine them.
I'm very happy with the result. I started off with a few failed concepts. Having Chaplin signing an autograph for a little girl was not going to work. And even though I usually push for extreme expressions, I decided against it for this painting. I like the subtle story behind this piece, and I think it goes well with the watercolours.
