Still working on this painting thing. Swipe for a breakdown of the process and the steps going all the way back to the raw render and concept sketch. I naively thought that learning how to paint was going to be mostly about learning new (to me) techniques and honing skills, and it's definitely been that, but more than anything else, I'm finding that I need to adjust and adapt the way that I think about and approach the process. I'm really enjoying it and the distraction it's providing with everything going on in the world. I hope everyone is staying safe and positive out there (or in there, rather).
I made this guy live over the course of a few livestreams, concept on Wartime Optimism 28, started painting on 31, and then finished it on 35 and 36. If you're interested in the real-time videos, check out my youtube channel, link in bio.
