The story behind this concentration piece is kinda funny, as I technically don't know the guy. As someone who hung out around the art room, my teacher thought it would be interesting to grab him and ask if he'd pose. He was alright with it and he turned into something fun to paint. I was trying to use more darker shadows, and I messed up a little but practice makes perfect, eh? I was starting with black until I learned to mix brown and blue.
