This was to learn more about painting. I had fun. In the future I need to pay more attention about posing and expression to show character. I wanted this character to have a strong upper body that he could use to "monkey" himself around casually yet appear fast on his feet. Just like those competitors on that "Ninja Warrior" tv show. 
This is the original sketch. I lost some of the energy in the colored piece that is in this drawing. I have an idea of how to keep it for the next time I paint.
