Old Man Painting Progress

More painting work tonight. I submitted it for some critique and assistance with adding weight to the floaty glasses. Extra shadowing was added and that seemed to do the trick.

I did some work on the background too... I can't decide though, if it looks too washed out in red with this background though... I think I like it better with these hue and saturation changes. I might mess around with the background more. The red wash kind of reminds me or a norman rockwell, so I might take the background that direction instead of the more classic portrait style. /shrug

Started on the shirt layers as well (t-shirt's basically done, dress shirt needs a finishing layer - might add lines to the shirt like in the ref, and the sweater is just blocked in so far).

  1. Maybe somewhere in the middle on the saturation? The one on the left is probably a little too pink, but the one on the left does look a hair washed out. I like the dark background. It's looking really polished.
