Study from a painting I like by Richard Schmid. Not trying to copy it exactly (as if I could!), but trying to get in the same headspace, I guess, and get a similar feel.
Obviously his is in oil, but I decided not to use the imapasto or RGBA brushes on this. I want to get better at using “normal” textured brushes, so I tried to experiment with that here. (This is mostly done with a few Deevad textured brushes.)
P.S. Not quite a timelapse, but I did save some snapshots along the way of the basic process:
First sketched in the basic composition:
Then rough background and big shapes (which was surprisingly the hardest part – I experimented with way too many brushes here):
Head, hands, and book stuff:
…and the final touches before I cropped it and ate some lunch
