Eye Candy

I was wondering what the subject for my next painting should be and then it came to me: The World Cup!!!!
While most of the planet is hooked to their TVs I decided to be part of the celebration by depicting one of the hottest men on the planet. Do you recognize him? His name is Cristiano Ronaldo, he plays for Portugal, unfortunately during the last game besides looking pretty he did little else... Whatever! He is still hot...

I really felt the urge of painting with oils today, but I did not have a canvas of the right size nor did I know who I wanted to paint...
I decided to experiment and paint with oils on watercolor paper (by preparing it with fixative first), and as for the subject, I remembered I had taken some pictures of my friends a couple of weeks ago, and so I used my good friend Juan Carlos as my model.
I am quite happy with the results, considering I painted it in one sitting. I notice an improvement. Now I just gotta keep practicing!!! I will start working on a comission next week while I have spring break...

Enjoy!
