I started another speedpaint, taking a little over 1 hour because I had so many corrections to work on. @_@
I was too lazy to find a close up photo of Beckett, so instead I used this autographed photo I found from Space Debris.

As mentioned above, I’ve made a lot of mistakes in this one which weren’t apparent until I started defining the features. This time though, I did block out the colours in solid and then blended and defined the fanart at 200% zoom. It all looked alright but not in actual size view. Hence more corrections were made.
But a speedpaint’s a speedpaint and I shouldn’t go overtime. Hopefully this exercise will help me paint better faster.
Final product:
He plays a tv actor in real life.
What’s funny halfway through this speedpainting, was that I ran out to the lounge because I heard ‘splosions, and turned out Con Air was on. On its way to Carson city. I LOL’D AND RAN BACK TO FINISH THIS.
The difficult part of speed painting is that you need to get the gist of the whole image quickly and sketchily. I had to remind myself many times that I do not need to perfect the shades- just to make sure that everything looks alright.
You can see where I went wrong. Next time I will start blocking out the shadows instead. Anyhow, I managed to eventually get to the end product after meandering through defining, correcting, shading and defining again.
