Speed Painting With Acrylics...

Video Description I felt motivated to do this one from the couple of comments on the "Speed Painting Photo Realism" video I uploaded not too long ago... The majority of comments I get are extremely positive and wonderful, but as an artist I still get challenged if even just one person publicly suspects me of cheating the process. In this case, since I have been using photoshop-- some think that there's apossibility that I am "tracing" a layer, and editing that part OUT of the vids. I can see how that might seem possible to some (if you are not looking closely at how the detail is coming together). Apparently, some people don't believe it is possible to actually freehand draw and get accurate proportions without erasing a lot, or tracing. So here is a vid of me painting freehand from scratch with acrylics (which dry extremely fast making it difficult to get smooth blending) without sketching it first. This excercise is about 10 times harder to do than digital painting, but I wanted to demonstrate the freehand drawing/painting capabilities that are behind all of my work... Actual time to do this was about 3 hours.
