sleeping angel

Ok I admitted. I didn't have the models' permission for this one- but I was so desperate, sinse no one would pose for me, that when he fell asleep, I took the photo and there was my model! A very angry model, as he was very embarassed being painted with just an underwear... anyway, we aggreed to keep his identity a secret.  
This is  my first figurative painting by the way, and I had a hard time painting those fleshy tones, I thought it would be easier but it didn't.The light of the photo was yellow which made things a little bit difficult. The pillow gave me a hard time too, but I enjoyed the result, and I will try to do a lot more of figurative painting in the future in order to improve my skills.
