For Once, An Inspiration

This time I did have someone in mind when doing this painting. This is a character from a book I wrote a while ago. First of all, there are some things wrong with this that I just can't seem to fix. I'm going to have to do some learning of certain techniques before I'm satisfied with it. I'm not sure if I'll rework this or if I'll do another portrait of him later.

As for the character, I wish I'd made him a bit more stern. Sometime when I'm feeling a bit more confident I might tell you more about who he is. For now, enjoy the picture.
