Dominicque's Sketchbook

Hey, yea I know the feeling. But funny enough it's no waste of time at all spending it on a painting you are finishing. The first time I spent like 200 hours on a single painting I really surprised myself. I didnt know I could paint that well. But then you start the next one and it all starts over haha.

Yes so do the flats on a layer beneath. Then another layer perhaps, also beneath, where you start with forms. You create form not with blending or preblending, but with putting in different values (the flats are pretty much just one value, hence the name flats). Good to know where and what your light source is vaguely and figure out where its lighter and where its darker. I like to do this underneath because you still have the structure of your drawing holding everything together. After that feels alright I go make a layer on top of everything and blend and paint over it all. But I mean it's just one way to do it, maybe you want to experiement and find your own way - but for me it's easier this way, like approaching it in single steps that are manageable.
