This one was difficult because I wanted Davis to have a “storyteller” look to him. Unfortunately, a quick Google Image search told me that there is no definitive storyteller look. So I went with a combination of a couple of images, though my first sketch had him looking more Amish than communicative. (Actually, he still looks a little Amish to me.)

The ending to this isn’t going to be as bleak as I’ve painted it so far, but still, Ryan’s growing up and his parents are going to have to adjust to it.
