Same process as last time. This time with a standard apple. Unfortunately, this post took about an hour as well (approx. 40 min. for the painting, and an extra 20 or so to put the video and this post together). I may stop doing the videos since they do add a bit of extra time, but then again that's mostly just selecting and editing the music, so perhaps I could just continue uploading without the music. We'll see.

Guess I'm painting fruit now. hehe Been a while since my last post (about a week I guess). Got caught up in some major projects recently (which will hopefully start to appear on this blog soon). But I'm back, and for now I'll be painting various fruit.
Today's post took a little under an hour (eek!), but I was able to try two new things:
1. Preparing a color palette. I occasionally do this, but more often than not I forget to do this ahead of time and sort of just wing the colors as I paint. Below are the palettes I created for the exterior and the interior colors:
2. Recording the process. I also screen-recorded the process, and made a short "speed painting" video with it. I'm not sure how many of these I'll do in the future (since they would add a bit of extra time to my daily workflow), but I had a lot of fun creating it and playing it back. It could also be a great communication tool if I were to ever seek critique on my work, since anyone can fairly easily view my process and see where I might improve. Anyway, here's the video below:

And now, without further ado… the final image! I spent WAY longer on this than any of my previous posts, but I had a lot of fun making it. I'm sure it could be quite a bit better (had to get kind of sketchy with it near the end to fit the deadline), but I'm very proud of it regardless. Anyway, enjoy!
It's finally here! "Back to the Future"… October 21, 2015… The day Marty goes… TO THE FUTURE!
I spent WAY longer on this than I should have. And even so, it's still fairly rough (and definitely not 100% accurate, haha). But I had a LOT of fun making it! :D I'd love to continue it further and really add in all those extra details, textures, fine-tune it, etc., but for now this is it, and I'm very happy with how it turned out. :)
Anyway, that's all for now… Happy "Back to the Future Day"!
