Painting Practice - Day 2 and 3

So far, my (hopefully, mostly) daily habit is on day 3. Day 2, I drew out take 2 from the same picture of Hammett.  This is not a great picture, but the background is a light purple.

I got home from work early today.  First, I did the dishes and fed the cats.  I felt so virtuous afterwards, I went down to paint.  I am feeling really good about painting and most everything else, these days.  While I wasn't even trying for much of a likeness, this looks more like Hammett than take 1.
