Hello everyone,
here is todays image:

My focus was the plastic look of her cloth, the rest of Bianca I styled cartoonish, because she remind me of Baroness from G I Joe. 


Needs more contrast…

[left]ChrisGreyKnight - how do you render the highlights on the rubber. Is it all painted or do you use the dodge and blur tools?

zorn1, very nice.
Good use of texture in the wall.
Did you use any reference for that? If yes please post it.
Hmm. I think I just speed painted the wrong image. x.x; Oh well. D: I always start off on the wrong size canvas too shot

hey augizzle no problems at all. Doesn’t matter what picture you take. Older or newer. About the canvas size: Normaly I take the reference image, delete it and blow the resolution up so that the bigger size is somewhere around 1600 px.

27 min… I’m not content because I couldn’t work on the face expression anymore… and, and, and…
Here is one from today. Again, I’m starting from the begining on these. I hope to catch up to the current pic one day. This pic was a challenge and the fact that it was to be done in 20 min took it to the next level for me.
photoshop 20 min


hey Kageko and vicmonty. Nice efforts and good colors in both pictures.
Just as a side note: You don’t have to restrict yourself to 20 minutes but that sometimes helps to keep you from spending all day on this exercise.
Hey there fellas, as a bit of advice - don’t be afraid to use harder, more jagged brushes.
Might also want to try creating some custom brushes of your own, particularly with environments - they can help to cut your painting time down exponentially.
Keep it up.
am joining this thread to keep me painting from time to time
and here is my 20m speed painting for the last photo
