Progress . . . Elvis Costello




I'm painting this with a darker value range than the references that I'm looking at . . . I like the mood, and I prefer to get rid of some of the orange, or at least ignore it . . . I'm feeling a bit dark and moody these days . . . nothing a good smack in the face couldn't fix! A ways to go before this is finished, I'll continue to share little bits here as I work.

Looking good - Elvis as mafia gun slinger .. I like it. Last time I saw Elvis on tv he was looking pretty well fed. He's a great musician and song writer. Can't wait to see the finish and the context of Evlis' circumstances.

Wow, looking really good! It definitely has a moody feel, comparable to your Johnny Cash painting. I'm just trying to keep busy. I hope all is well my friend!

This is looking great Jason!! The guitar, even at this early stage of the painting, is beautiful!

Really great already!

at this point i like that some of the pencil textures are showing through. it adds a little something extra to the painting.

Don't like the guy, don't like his music, but I loooove this drawing! It has a nice painterly quality, great loose brushstrokes. And a mind blowing color palette!!!
