Dear Mme Mailarta-

The dude in the portrait (and it`s not a good likeness) is Roy Rogers. I don`t tend to draw people that I have a emotion connection to - I choose people based on their facial features.

I use the contrasts and overlapping colours to build up the contours and shading to the face.
