After Norman Rockwell

I'm carrying on with the light-touch technique. As the blending works so much better that way, I decided to try a portrait. This is just a quick sketch from a Norman Rockwell portrait of Bob Hope. In the attempt to simplify my choices and focus on this, I used a palette suggested on Wax Bloom by Steve Chipman, so the colors are not that close to Rockwell's original.

This is looking good so far, Rose. What paper are you using?

Thanks Steve, the drawing is a bit off (as you'll see in the next shot), but the skin tone worked nicely. Good palette :D.

It's done on bristol board smooth.
