So, this was a special kind of week for me and I needed something to cheer me up. I found an amazing speed painting video (a set of
four, actually) by
BikerScout. And I thought that I wanted to give his techniques a try. I really enjoyed it. This was done in about 4 hours (I'm a newbie at this, what can I say?), without any reference for shading or form. There were lots of mistakes and corrections around the eye/eyebrow area.
