Day 151

Here's a quick study from a J.C. Leyendecker painting. He was an incredibly popular illustrator back in the day. He was Norman Rockwell's hero (and he actually painting more covers of the Saturday Evening Post than Rockwell). His life ended with him as pretty much a loser. They sold all of his paintings at a garage and nothing went for more than $7.00!

I like his style because he makes all of his characters have exaggerated features. Like this guy, he has and uber-grecian profile, but yet, has a softness to his look. Really cool stuff...
