Description
With several female portraits on the go, I was keen to return to an aged face - one with more texture and stories to tell.Clint Eastwood is one of the few living Hollywood icons and a real pleasure to paint.
The closest to realism I've ever gotten? Maybe...

"The closest to realism I've ever gotten?"
Yeah dude, you're pretty unbelievable with these portraits. I really like the initial sketch as well ;]

looks great and good to see the stages. Is the original sketch done freehand then scanned in or is it sketched via the tablet too ?

Hey John, good to see you.
The sketch for this one was done directly in Photoshop but I try to alternate digital with pencil sketches.

Looks great! Ruffly, How long does it take you to get to one step to another?

It varies. Sketch stage takes about 30-45 minutes. Blocking the base colour takes about 30 seconds! Then I just take a screenshot every time I think I've made some progress since the last shot.
This one is taking a while because of the amount of detail. From the point where it was nothing but a bloc of solid grey to where it is now (stage 6) is probably about 8 hours give or take.

So takes some time for sure, but I bet you get faster at it the more you paint right?

Oh absolutely. The great thing is my painting methods are always evolving and it changes with every piece.
This particular painting is very much like a sculpture. I'm starting with a featureless block and gradually carving out the detail - the detail of the wrinkles is a lot of fun!

I bet, I'm very excited that I get to keep up with your work. Hell if I could afford it I would request Tom Hanks so I could give it to my girl friend, or Adrian Monk (Anthony Marcus). That would be primo to see.

There's no such thing as a generic compliment, Hugo. All feedback is good!

Hehe! I know, It's just many people get trolled for saying
"OMG! SO COOL!"
Still, those are the exact words I can use on every piece of yours,
I see and appreciate the effort you put into your work.
Keep strong man!
