Get it? The painter's name is Egon. Did I just date myself? At any rate; I ended up keeping this one fairly simple. I wanted to add a little more depth than I was seeing in the original image, and also play around with what the viewer's perception of the space might be. I followed the overall form of the figure pretty faithfully, while flattening it into 3 basic planes (skin on hands and head, undershirt and jacket), each of which was given its own color. I noticed an interesting thing happening here: it struck me that the depths implied by what I had done did not entirely follow those given in the original image. I suppose this was the effect I was going for, though, so mission accomplished.
