I want to get into doing sports related portraits and this was my first attempt in that field. I have been doing this same style for a while now so that part is not new. This is a portrait collage of running back Chris Johnson of the Tennessee Titans. I chose to do him because he is awesome on the field and flamboyant off the field. Plus, he has cool hair and I wanted to try and paint that.
I started to do this in oil but chose to go with airbrush arylic and colored pencils instead because it has an edgier modern look to it.
I am hoping to offer prints of it in the future.
Final art was created on gessoed masonite 30x36
