A SKETCH FROM A FOUND PHOTO

This is the second sketch I have made from a found photograph.

Ruturaj wearing a hoodie. Dara Bolaji, 2015. Photograph printed on paper, 148 x 210 mm. | Dara Bolaji, 2019. Pencil on paper, 210 x 297 mm.

I had taken this photo back in 2015 and found it on one of my memory drives. It is just a very rough sketch and I plan to paint it. I have already started thinking about the painting of this sketch. As can be seen in the image, I have noted that I would like the background of the drawing to be in the colour yellow ochre. I think it might be interesting if, even after painting, this note-to-self in pencil is still visible.
