Description

Speedpaint study for speedpaintstudies.deviantart.c…
1h20min. No tracing, no color picking from original picture.
Original ref hotnstock.deviantart.com/art/W… by :iconhotnstock:

Surprisingly easier than manakin and I felt quite comfortable while painting it.
Decided to leave his mane (is that the word?) as it is cause rendering would take much more time than I had.
What I tried to focus and learn was to keep the proportions of his "face" cause I instinctively tend to draw faces bigger than they accualy are.

As always if you have any suggestions what and how to improve, please share it with me :)

Nicely done my friend!  I don't know if it was easier than Manakin because I have not tried that one yet.  For me however, I did begin this one and after about 45 minutes I gave it up.  Shame shame on me!  I love painting big cats but this photo just seemed a little too blown out and over exposed for my tastes.  I may give it a few minutes more and enter my study eventually but I wouldn't feel comfortable with it in the long run unless I tone down some things.

Yes BTW it is called a mane :-)  And you named it well.  The colors seem to balance out the white of the face and you kept it very painterly.  I also like how you blurred out the gate, in the photo it is very distracting and takes away from the model.

Great study all around!
