Sir Frank Swettenham 1904
My first digital Sargent copy, which I posted a while back on conceptart.org, got scrapped, and unfortunately I never got around to reposting the images.
It's been 8 years, so I figured I'd give it another go.. with the step by step below..
(btw, this time I won't mess with the images, so they're here to stay)
Also, to properly do a Sargent copy, you need about 30-50 sittings, which these days is pretty hard to have the time for. Here's where it's at after about 10. Enjoy!

demo for a friend..
Here's my quick study (as far as I will take it for demo's sake)..
From a Painting standpoint, here's how we need to think of it. The simpler, the better.
From a Drawing standpoint, here's how we get there..
-Think simple first... a cylinder or a box next to another one.
-Then get to a comfortable point where we can adjust/modify that box or cylinder.
-Once the base is there, think of the other features as miniature forms.
-Refine and start pinpointing the corners of those forms.. more importantly, where they lie on the bigger picture.
-Now it's possible to design the shapes...
-..until we have our Refined Lay-In.
The rest is a combo.. back and forth, from drawing, to painting, to designing/abstracting, and repeat.. and repeat...
Hope it helps :)

as requested
Dark to Light.. My favorite of the set. Learned how to control my values a bit better for when I go back to work...
Light to Dark.. Tricky to get likenesses at this scale. Will have to keep at it. :)
Mid-tone out #1.. the original was too narrow, so I stretched a bit in Photoshop. I am not ashamed.
Mid-tone out #2... as usual, I like the preliminary steps better.
