My next painting

This is going to be different as I only have a very old black and white photo to go by .
So I have done a sketch first to get to know his face .
Perhaps someone will recognise him.

With long hair :slight_smile:

I was going to suggest an old native American, but the clothes aren’t right.

I’ve no idea who it is (though there definitely is something familiar about him :thinking:). But that sketch is fabulous, so much promise in this - I can’t wait to see the finished painting!

For those that dont know Sitting Bull

It’s not Sitting Bull
I actually was going to do him but so many artists have already painted his portrait from his iconic photo .
I am still tempted too .
But you are getting warmer folks :slight_smile:
