Garth,

I think you chose the right expression and posture. However, I think I like drum positoned slightly ahead as in the first reference. The composition is not quite as linear (up and down) as in the second and gives a bit more negative space in front of the boys head.

My understanding is that you are working toward an oil painting.

Nice pastel.
