Hang onto your butts! Because I think I still can. The expression isn’t quite right yet. It’s amazing how the tiniest little bits completely change an entire expression. He looks more worried and less annoyed than he should. But it’s totally Samuel L. Jackson!!!
Good Lord, you are killing it. Very inspiring!!
Haha, thank you! Discipline, dedication, and determination go a long way when sprinkled on top of a little skill.
May I ask your medium? Out of interest.
I use Sketchbook by Autodesk on my phone mostly, every Sammy has been on my phone. I also have it on a tablet connected to a PC but I rarely drag all of that out to paint. If I could figure out a way to sync my work between them I’d probably use the PC more.
The brushes I use are oil painting brushes. I start sketching with a pencil brush, then block out colors with a simple round brush, then I use oil brushes the rest of the way.
Edit: I also add a small bit of randomness to the colors which I think is the best trick to keep it from looking flat and boring.
That’s awesome. Thanks for the detailed answer. Amazing that it’s on such a small device. I’ve got a Samsung tablet with a pen. I might have to play more with it. Keep em coming! Am loving your work. I see dip pens, and all sorts in your post history. Loving it all.
Thank you, so kind!
Dude I’ve only seen your paintings over the last week but even in that time the improvements have been massive. Good on you
Hell yeah, thank you!!
Hold onto your butts!
Even your first painting in the series was recognizably him. You’re right about the expression, although I sure can’t point to what tiny detail doesn’t match.
Regardless, you’ve made great progress and I hope you keep sharing with us!
I think it’s not enough tension near the eyes, it’s too smooth there
Thank you, and will do. I’m going to try to be a little more creative with the next one and stylize the image. Wish me luck! 🤞
I never realised Ray Arnold was Samuel L Jackson lol
Gawd, now I can’t stop thinking about him playing Hammond instead, but it’s a Richard Valentine character haha
Lol right! I learned when someone asked him about it and he said he thinks Arnold is still alive somewhere with one arm doing some f-ed up stuff.
🤣🤣🤣
You are definitely showing improvement! What software do you use to paint digitally?
Sketchbook by Autodesk. I have it on my phone and PC and share brushes between them.
Oh wow, these are really getting better, I love that one!
Thank you, I’m trying!
You’re killing it man! Good going, it’s been awesome to see your progress and these are looking great!
Thank you!!
