National coach Wilfried Van Moer and two Red Devils

National coach Wilfried Van Moer celebrates his success with two of his top players of the time,
Red Devils Marc Degryse and Enzo Scifo.

This was the very last caricature I ever did in watercolor paint. On my phone notes
I scribbled "in acrylic ?" (translated), but I had almost no experience with acrylic paint,
so just to be sure I stayed with my familiar watercolor, for this last time !

According to my note here at the bottom right, this time I used a photo of my youngest son... for the position of the hand puppets?
I don't remember - and apparently I didn't save the photo... too bad!...

A false start!... My first sketch was not my best... the resemblance was hard to find...

Also the 2 Red Devils were not very striking caricatures in the beginning...

...but if you don't give up, things will get better after some extra effort...

Finally I got where I wanted to be...

The finished line drawing...

And a quick color test with colored pencil on a reduced photocopy, as usual...
Apparently I finally decided to remove the billboards at the back... (out of laziness, lack of time, or artistic considerations? I don't remember!)

The final painting in watercolor paint. I didn't think the result was bad this time, but
I still wanted to change the type of paint. I often found the printed result too pale,
I wanted darker colors in the future...

...when printing, the light colors often became faint and faded, certainly not in the way I intended.
For example: this time the light blue sky has almost completely disappeared!
I was hoping to be able to fix that in the near future!
