Hotforwords Digital speed painting

This could be the first in a series of digital paintings of Youtubers. Since its December I though this Christmassy picture of Marina Orlova might be a good place to start.

Marina aka Hotforwords can be found here - http://www.youtube.com/user/hotforwords

The music is 'Throwing Fire' by Ronald Jenkees, who's profile can be found here - http://www.youtube.com/user/ronaldjenkees

You should subscribe to them both.

The painting was done in 2.5 hours, using a XP-Pen tablet and Photoshop CS3.

Please subscribe.

Just out of curiosity is this a single later painting or do you use multiple layers?

@scoobie1138 I don't remember. Its probably mostly one layer. Even when I paint on several layers I try to compress them all back into one whenever I can. I probably painted the hair on a separate layer from the body.

ur good as hell i want to learn how to do it! plz tell me how u learned!

[xpoc]

I'm self tought. The most important thing when learning digital painting is to have a good understanding of Photoshop. How does it operate, and what are it's limitations. I learned how to digitally paint mostly by looking at step by step guides, but mainly through watching other time-lapse paintings on YouTube. I combined what I saw to make my own technique. I've only been doing this a year, so I'm not really good enough to give out advice. Hope that helps.

@oo77i thanks. The song is called 'throwing fire' by Ronald Jenkees. There is a link to his YouTube channel in the description.
