Albert Einstein

Back to the physicists and I think everybody should recognise this guy.

While I think I’ve got the likeness (for once) I’ve messed up in other ways.  I was planning on giving him a blue background (a different colour to Fermi, Dirac and Bose) but messed up and gave him a blue jumper, so had to go for the garish green background instead.  Then I had trouble with the shading on the jumper and went for the black marker on the left of the drawing,  big mistake.  The black has killed everything.  And then I went for brown in the jumper instead of blue but you can’t tell because I’ve gone in with more black.  And I made the background darker on Einstein’s lighter side when I should have made it darker on his lighter side to maximise contrasts.  Oh well.

This might be the last portrait for a while – some of my greys are running low and needing replacing.
