Thank you both Daniel and Steven for your suggestions. Daniel, yes this was done in oils. This is basically a sketch done rapidly trying to put down values quickly and hitting the mark. It was an excercise in laying down a brush stroke and not to be tempted to blend and above all, not move the paint more than 3 times. I was trying for 1. Direction of light and how that should be played out on the opposite side make sense and also enhancing drama more by darkening the background on the lighted side. I like your acetate idea.

Steven, I like the "in your face" approach. This big man is a gentle being but believe me he can look very intimidated to the unfamiliar!
