Speedpainting #10

A speedpainting in photoshop. I used one brush for pretty much the whole thing. At the end I changed the brush to a different one for a few spots in the background. For that part I showed my work area since a lot of people have asked what I'm doing. As you can see, there's nothing fancy. One layer, one brush. The thing I did at the very end though was to duplicate the layer, gaussian blur it, and change it to Soft Light. I find this creates a nice effect in portraits.

Tools:
Photoshop
Camtasia Studio
Wacom Intuos Tablet

Music:
Chopin Scherzo No.3 Opus 39

The music in this speedpainting was performed by my good friend Nancy Tsai and I dedicate this painting to her.
