Illustrators Drawing illustrators


My friend Meagan Morrison cleverly decided to host an event called Illustrators Drawing Illustrators. She assigned all who were interested another illustrator to do a portait of. I got to do my friend, James Skarbek . I decided to do an oil painting on canvas since I haven't got to do any oil painting at FIT. At my old pre-college school, the Huntington School of Fine Arts, we did large oil paintings all the time in a very loose style. Hope you like it, Jimmy!

  2. Thanks, Meagan!!!! Yea I was gonna do it in a more FIT approach (gouache, illustrator, etc) but I figured I'd give it a shot in oil. Hope you're having a good vacation!!
