“Anthem” Process

I’m working on a new painting that I’m calling “Anthem.”  The piece takes place during the national athem at a baseball game. I filled a page in my sketchbook of various ideas that I want to paint at some point, and this one stuck out enough to tackle first. I had a different version of this drawn up until the final sketch, but decided that the characters’ stature needed some tweaking.
I’ll do the color study this weekend.
