For Digital Painting this year, we're working from photo reference which is no walk in the park. Working off of a photograph still requires an extreme amount of skill. You've got to apply all the techniques you've learned to create likeness and believability to the referenced photograph. For this particular assignment we had to paint the head of a creature in black and white. After browsing around, I found a picture of a gorgeous Bengal tiger and thought I'd take a stab at it. I learned a lot about manipulating the brush mechanics to create better structure and form, allowing me to develop a different approach to my usual painting style. My greatest challenge was trying to paint the texture of the fur.
