It’s always fun to paint someone working on a computer or phone, because they tend to stay still. Here I was especially interested in the three different light sources: the computer screen and the two interior lights in the background.

The lighting for this pose was somewhat better, and I had an easier time of it. This was the first of a two-session pose, so I didn’t get to some stuff, notably the blank area around his ear and his clothing. And I should tone down the expression I’ve given him! But it’s a decent start, I think.
