Big Red speedpaint - Finale

Description

The Final installment of my Hellboy Speedpainting
This video represents minutes 28 through to 58


This last clip is perhaps the most evolutionary of all four. It deals with the completion of blending the colours and adding texture. The hair is added in and there are some major positional adjustments too, even at this late stage.

At the beginning of the video you'll see my 'to do list' layer turned on briefly. This is to remind myself what needs work since I haven't touched the piece for a couple of days. It's a quick guide which takes minutes to create. I decided to reposition one of the horns and his left eye and you'll see my very rudimentary brow line pop up briefly.

To quickly add texture to suggest pores in the skin, I've utilised the Spacing & Scatter options in the Brushes palette. This handy feature, combined with a variety of colours can produce great results.

Hopefully by watching all four videos in sequence, you'll see how a piece can evolve at a variety of speeds. Sometimes the changes can be very obvious but sometimes the subtle work can be the most effective.

Patience & perseverence is the key. :thanks:

:bulletred: Videos II-IV are also available here on YouTube with music.
For the next speedpaint, I hope to record a commentary.
:excited:

Very interesting to see the videos in order. I would've never thought to try and add the highlight/texture so early on in the painting, but it looks great! In fact, I've often been analyzing a picture that I was trying to paint, and it looks like they have highlights on their skin, but someone some color over that. I couldn't make sense of what I was seeing, but with your technique, I should be able to reproduce that look when needed.
Also, I usually use dedicated skin texture brushes, but sometimes they just don't quite look right. I've never thought of using the regular default brush with the brush settings changed! haha. Yours looks great, and would allow me to have more control over the size of the actual dots.
Great stuff, and keep it up!
