    • Matt DiPietro

      Thank you Alfonso, I'm honored to hear that you like him so much. I started the painting from a sketch like I learned in your awesome class! Check out my "sketch book" from last year if you want to see the sketch: http://www.contrastminiatures.com/gallery-index-page/sketch-book-2016/ I really love working in this way. It is very freeing.
