P. Is For Painterly

I'm enjoying the process of eliminating the lines and painting in dabs of color instead. It's very much like my pastel style, albeit without all the mess since it's all digital in Painter. I'm at the point where I think it really looks like my friend, but I know that at some point it will become so close that every little detail will stick out like a supernova, and I'll think it doesn't look like him at all. Ah, I kinda know my process, don't I?

edit: By the way, this entry is a milestone of sorts: it's the 1600th blog entry/illustration for Draw 365. How crazy is that??
