 The 1st photo I took was after doing a first pass at his skin tones, facial features and hat.

 

I then added the sax

 Then onto his clothing, always

paying attention to where the light is coming from.

More clothing added keeping the light and shadows in check

 

 Then I had to go back in and correct the skin tones once the clothing was set.

I felt the back ground needed to show the light and shadow areas as well instead of what was in the original photo, as is shown below. This is a photo I took about 2 years ago and have been thinking about painting since then! Once I started it, it just flowed!
