This was painted for the Open Figure Drawing Workshop 018 here on CGTalk. ( http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=371709)
Its a mastercopy of Diego Rodriguez de Silva Velázquez portrait of Juan de Pareja, it took about a total ten hours to create, over a period of five days. I had tons of fun doing this and I cant wait to hear what you guys think.
