The Lion Time Lapse
Check out this quick video that shows my process as I build up the layers. I start with a rough sketch to get the form down. Then a tighter line drawing with some details. Then I pop in a color background so I can see color more accurately. Then I get to work painting the portrait, then the background, and move back and forth between the two. I start with a rough underpainting and then tighten the portrait painting up as I go. This digital painting took over 120 hrs to paint!
