Jrue Holiday painting, he plays basketball

Favorite basketball player for the Philadelphia 76ers, was going for a more animated / caricatured feel as opposed to the portrait I had done of him before, hope you like.

TROLOLOLO
Derp. ;x

Nice done, but why with a open mouth?

he did say he was his favorite player lol :P thats why he has an open mouth maybe?

Really? Oddest question...

Breathing, when you're doing a physical activity you tend to have to take deeper breathes, most basketball players in the midst of a game will have their mouths open for that reason. Feel free to google Jrue Holiday, in fact here's his espn profile pic, nearly every picture of him in game he will have his mouth open.

Thanks.

Am curious, understand I wasn't attempting to paint him realistically? Suppose the exert from my comment from dA is true in that I didn't simplify him enough. Meh, oh well, onward to the next painting.

i was just messing bud u did an awesome job :) like the hair how u make it look so real ?

its an awesome work ;] also i did understand why sirenzo asked, because in the pictures, with his mouth opened, he looks really srtrange, not like breathing, but.... just really wierd, so dont get mad so fast, if people ask ;]
