Rustam K: Art Students League, Oct 12-23

Can you believe this guy? Who looks like this? In real life, I mean?  I have to do some sit-ups.

in chronological order, as well as order of increasing proficiency (horrible-->terrible):

oil on junk canvas board, 18x24


oil on canvas paper, 16x20

oil on panel, 16x12

oil on loose canvas, 9x12


oil on panel, 16x12
I ruined the nose and had to wipe it off and start over during the last 15 minute pose. WHY?!?
