Lacey, here's my two cents.(That gives you six cents). take kim and Alex's advice, but don't stop there.

The first one has a Wyeth feel to me. use it as a base to sketch and compose. Try to capture the feelings you have about him at this stage in life. In addition sketch him live to help capture even more. Then when you have generated an idea for the final composition, That's when you take him and pose him with the lighting and pose already in your head.

You won't be sorry for the extra effort. I guess what I am trying to say is, don't waste the idea. Use it as inspiration to actually draw more out of your artistic soul. (Oh, and have fun along the way)

Lacey,

An echo here. The plaid itself will kill you. It fights with the mini-macho image as well.
