Twelve paintings in and I still hear his voice in my head. OHHH, you believe in Samuel L. Jackson now, huh, bitch? GOOD, 'CAUSE YOU 'BOUT TO MEET HIM!
I particularly enjoy the scarf. That was my favorite part to paint.

I'm humbled, thank you! It's fun learning a new skill at a relatively old age. Old enough to be a grandpa anyway.

It's pretty weird when someone receives a compliment and becomes humble. You deserve to be proud instead, this art is great.

The scarf is beautiful, but something’s messed up on his right cheek.
BallShapedMan@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y
I reworked that cheek multiple times, I finally gave up and called this good enough.

To be fair, the photo reference is also a bit weird. Something about the lighting and how his skin got squished by the scarf, I guess. Keep it up, your Samuels are getting better at every iteration.

Thank you! I almost didn't go with this image because of the lighting. It's clearly movie lighting and not natural lighting which is hard to comprehend and paint. But I thought it would be a challenge and that's what made the decision for me.

Looking at how good you're painting, I have to correct that title:

Okay I'm just going to say it: I think you can paint Samuel L. Jackson.
BallShapedMan@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Thank you! And yeah I can. I still can't quite get his expressions right though. This one is closer than the others but still not quite right.

The scarf is definitely dope! I’ve enjoyed your progress when I catch your posts!

They're looking better and better every day! I LOVE the scarf.
One thing I noticed is that the shading on his right (on the left side of the painting) cheek is not soft enough. It should be more of a gradient instead of a dark line, I think.

You're absolutely right, thank you!

Day 50 comes along and it's a picture at a weird angle nobody can find on the internet of him getting milk out of his fridge in the middle of the night
