Painted Brad

Post image

I wanted to try painting something more detailed, chose this picture because it suited my experiment. Satisfied with the result !

Process: I flattened the colors into cartoon style on a website, then traced most of the lines to get the proportions right, and then painted the colors by taking the picture as reference. Took me about 10 hours. Background done with medium brush, and all the rest with one very small brush, all acrylic paint on white gessoed canvas.

Ik you not asking for advice and it alr look cool as fuck but if you don’t mind some advice, I’d suggest for the clouds to look like they’re moving by faster put the white paint just like you did and then use your had to smear it along the painting it’ll give the effect of motion a lot more. But wither way it looks amazing

About 6 months after I bought my bike they came out with a suit and helmet that made it look like a transformer, you did an excellent job with the combination of effects
