FINALLY, I HAVE FINISHED THIS!! AFTER FIGHTING THE EVIL DEMONS OF HOMEWORK AND OTHER THINGS THAT CAUSED ME TO BE BUSY, I HAVE CONQUERED SUCH HORRORS AND MANAGED TO COMPLETE MY QUEST!! ALAS, IT WAS A TOUGH JOURNEY, BUT I HAVE PREVAILED!! YEAAA I worked on this baby for quite a long time. I started it at the end of summer actually, and then worked on it here and there when I could....which was really frustrating because I was so excited to work on it, but then I would get busy with things... BUT NOW I'M FINISHED!! HALLELUJAH!
So, I was originally going to try painting in grayscale first, and then adding color after, but I spent so much time on this and I like it this way. I'm really pleased with how this turned out and it was definitely interesting painting the water! I HOPE YA'LL LIKE THIS!!!
AAAAANDDDD I couldn't have done this without the use of this lovely reference:
I LOVE IT SO MUCH ^__________^ YOU'RE EXCELLING SO FAST MAN!! PROBABLY THE MOST IMPRESSIVE PIECE YET. It's so realistic and well done! The water droplets are great, too! And the hair, and the face, and the shading, and the rain, and the----- .............. you know me enough by now, I think you understand. Keep up the awesome work kiddo! YOU INSPIRE ME!
Well, you really are. It's awesome to watch you put in so much effort, and then see it turn out wonderfully. You really are excelling every time. I think art is definitely something you should continue to pursue; whether it be by hobby, or career. If career, you'd probably make a lot of money with your talents! You're certainly a natural.
Don't stop.
