Made a few tiny tweaks and feel it’s a bit better. Here is both the reference photo and the painting.

I don’t trace or draw the figure first. I put the right color in the right places and eventually the painting is formed without much use of line at all except as exists.

Early in blocking in the figure I take a pic and superimpose it on the photo to check my proportions & accuracy and correct as needed.

"What happened?"

"He literally shat his pants!"

"How did he clean up?"

"What are you talking about?"

"You said that he literally shat his pants."

"So?"

"Didn't he clean up the shit from his pants?"

"No, I meant this figuratively."

"But you said literally!"

"True, but when I say literally, I mean figuratively."

"I see. Well, go fuck yourself then."

"What? Why are you insulting me?"

"I'm not insulting you."

"You told me to go fuck myself."

"I did not. I said have a nice day."

"What?"

"Oh, I see. When I say go fuck yourself, I mean have a nice day."
