in the Aesthetic Guide for the Dapper Man
The first illustration in the 
Aesthetic Guide for the Dapper 
Man is the Grand Wrist of 
Wrists, the fortuitously named, 
the one and only Wristi 
modeling the young luxury 
watch brand SevenFriday P2 
watch.
The Thumbnails 
With the Aesthetic Guide living on 
digital I have the problem of making 
the images fit 16:9 as well as 1:1. The 
sketching phase allows me to play 
with compositions that might work 
well in both ratios.
I discovered with these sketches 
that I couldn't have the hand 
holding the wine glass and showing 
the watch because the watch would 
read upside down. That is a no-no 
in the watch world. 
As you are about to see, the wrist 
ended up overlooking the party 
instead of being a part of it. 
The wine cannot be in hand so a 
jacket sleeve is introduced to 
suggest the involvement of the wrist 
in the party.

Color Study
Pencil Under- 
Painting 
As a guide for the painting the 
under-drawing is created to define 
shapes and to suggest general values 
(lights and darks). Now, I can see the 
painting and all I have to do is 
complete it.
A Layer in Gold 
The first layer of paint is daunting. 
What if I get the wrong color? What 
if I made a mistake in the drawing? 
The pencil is sealed with the first 
layer. 
That is not the intent of the first 
layer, though. The first layer is meant 
to set the tone and the mood for the 
overall painting. For the 
SevenFriday/ Wristi painting I 
wanted to bring out the golden color 
on the dial of the P2 watch. 
So everything begins with this color.
