Trying to get the hang of painting directly in colour (rather than painting in B&W and then colouring transparently, like I've done for years)

New artwork!

"Haunted Sleep." A portrait of a spirit or demon who invades your mind while you sleep and causes nightmares, feeding off of the fear they create (or possibly the demon of staying awake at night due to anxiety).

Timelapse of my painting "Haunted Sleep."

I sort of discovered the story behind this painting as I worked on it and I think you can kind of see that happening in the video. At first, I just wanted to paint a pose I saw on pinterest, but as I painted the woman started to become an actual character

Messy space marine guy. It’s so freeing just scribbling along not thinking about color

That’s it, 50(+) heads! I wouldn’t say I learned anything new in terms of theory, but this challenge did reinforce some things, especially about proportions and capturing likenesses

By complete coincidence, face number 33 ended up being the one where I used Max Verstappen as reference haha
I swear to dog this wasn’t on purpose!
