I started with the intention of strictly copying the photograph of Christina Aguilera, but quickly let go and tried to add a more painterly feel. I also wanted to make the eye focus immediately to Christina's Face and eyes. Afterwards, hopefully your eye will move around the edges of painting.
Anyways I spent FOREVER on this one. I would say at least 50 hours total?
I really got extremely detailed with this painting. I made it a HUGE file and was zooming in quite a bit. The smudge tool is my best friend.
I need to learn some kind of hand exercises so I don't freaking get carpal tunnel or arthritis or something. My hands hurts SO BAD after this painting.
You can view details of the painting here:
Everything was painted by me, Chip Whitehouse, in Photoshop CS4 using a Wacom Graphics Tablet.
***No tracing, Eyedropper Tool, or actual photo was used in this piece. I only was using the photo as a REFERENCE (looking at the photo and painting what I see). If you look at some of my previous works and watch my Speed Painting videos ([link] you can see my process very clearly. The original size of this piece was 6000x7000 pixels at 300dpi, allowing me to get EXTREMELY detailed.***
