Bruce Willis Caricature - Jon Moss

Happy New Year to all. This is my first time at posting on the blog so go easy on me! I'm currently enrolled on Jason's course and into the final assignment. Hello to all who've gone before me. I am sure that like myself you've been nothing less than impressed by the quality of instruction and feedback. This course has been without doubt the best money I've spent on anything art related even in these days of the weak pound (£).

I have decided to make Brucie here my first submission to the blog. I painted this initially as a finished black and white value painting. The technique I used to colourize (colorize, for the americans) was to paint a new layer in the colorize mode using a split complimentary palette and then quickly revert to normal mode on a new layer and paint in a more direct method.

After some last minute structural changes (horizontal flip, thank you) I was happy Bruce no longer had a head similar to that of a squashed potato and was pleased with the final results.
