Day 21 - British Open golf champ

All right - not sure if this qualifies as a portrait or not. It's more of a sports art scene. Phil Mickelson inspired me with his dramatic come from behind win of the British Open.

In the reference photo I used you could certainly recognize Phil even though it showed his whole torso and head, but since the head was so small on the reference photo it was tough seeing the details fine enough to render them accurately.

Drawing all the rest of the torso, arms, hands etc. took a lot of time away from concentrating on the face too. it was a bit of a trap! Before I knew it, the evening grew late and I didn't have the time or energy to put the proper finish on that face.

I am glad I gave it a try though. The rest of the golf drawing looks fine.
