Fabiano Caruana

And here it is, the last one in the collection.  It’s world number two Fabiano Caruana.

I thought I’d go for a bright green background as that seems to work when I combine all eight portraits together (see next post!).  There’s a sense of harmony about this one with the green in the shirt being used as the background and the blue in the suit also being somewhere in that hair.  It seems to work well.  That blue is also in the glasses frames: in reality the frames are dark blue but my dark blue marker just doesn’t work well with my other colours – it’s too dominant.

I really like this one.  There’s the harmony, as I say, And as well as looking good, it’s right up there with Kirill Alekseenko for likeness, I’ve yet again managed to get a bit of personality and concentration in there.
