Meet Marcos!
Actually that would be Dr. Marcos Modiano Esquenazi! What a spectacular name! I met Marcos at Dr. Goldberg’s outing. He is a second year resident at Rush Hospital in Chicago specializing in psychiatry. Marcos is a comedian, you can probably tell from his visage. I will not retell his jokes here because this, with exception of some artful nudity, is a family rated blog. But I did laugh until my cheeks hurt.
However I will quote another one of my daughter’s precious reactions: “Who is this?! Is he single?!”

Love the hat and the glasses, Alex. I know.You are working from a photo, but the extras are always nice. I think anyone would enjoy paging through the world of faces you are creating in your sketchbook. You ROCK!
You rock yourself, missy :D! But thank you for the kind word! What do you mean by “extras”? Working from a photo indeed, but my main goal is likeness, expression and lately character. I have some idea what a person is about, who knows if I am correct at that or not, but I have started to try bring this idea to the portrait I am working on. It is an interesting exercise. In the case of Marcos his accessories seem to be important for the character.
The hat and the glasses. I call those things “extras”! Ha! 🙂 They are always fun to play around with.
Dr. Marcos looks like he is full of life! Which is a good asset to have in a doctor I suppose! He looks like he was right in the middle of telling one of his jokes when you captured him.
I am very proud of this portrait. In the photo I took Marcos has a more quiet expression. I changed his mouth to be like that, giving an impression of telling a joke. It was an experiment, I never tried changing a reference to achieve an expression I wanted before. I am very pleased it worked.
