80's guy

Still keeping with the theme. This is a character from a hit 80's tv-series some people might recognise. This was also on Illustration Friday a while back.

On this I experimented with colour pencils and their slight tendency to push back watercolours. It's a much more subtle effect than using wax crayons or oil pastels.

Your portraits are awesome, Samuli! You've captured his likeness very well. I recognized the face but couldn't remember the show! =)

Thanks JC! In Finland it was THE show of the eighties for boys - well, after Knight Rider and McGyver. Although, my sister was probably more into it than I was at the time.

Hehe, it was big here in the US too but I didn't really watch it. I don't know, those pastel suits never did anything for me. =) Now Knight Rider and McGyver - those were cool shows!
