::24 project - Buchanan::

This is the first completed character from my 24 poster project.

As a departure from my straight portrait work, I'm trying to emulate a more painterly approach. Strong colours, several characters & subtle traditional media details.

This is a new process for me - sketching in red, then simplifying in solid black, adding tone and then finally some colour. It's a wonderful method and if you've never tried it, I highly recommend it. I hear all the cool kids do it already...
