Freehand oil, I sure have a hard time with the eyes, gotta work on that.
I tried out a gazillion of crappy web downloaders, and one of them worked. I'm checking but I have my history turned off can't find it ๐ญ
My eleventh portrait since Christmas :-)
I decided to completely stop any beforehand outlining (like printing out the photo and copy it over to help with borders and placements of eyes, mouth, nose etc) and drew everything with a paintbrush doing the old "holding out your paintbrush to measure" trick. The first two paintings didn't went very well but I'm kind of happy with this one.
A lot of french ultramarine and phthalo blue was used :-)
3 hours, done!

That video is a good start, if you get the hang of Value/Chroma/Hue (or "saturation" instead of chroma in digital media) your artworks will show it.
Value > Chroma > Hue.
Florent Farges has a lot of very good youtube videos and the ones about color are probably very good for digital artists too.

I added some frames in the background with skies and clouds to lighten up the atmosphere a bit.

Checking out if the cross-posting works okay :-)
Got approached by njb and asked if I wanted to do a painting for his email listing which is a free online newsletter about pinball and retro arcade gaming.
Well that sounded like fun, and here it is!

Just FYI, before that I used a web thibgy that lusts your music from a spotify playlist, copy oasted it in an "excel" sheet and manually got the mp3 files through SoulSeek. Slow but reliable.
