Hey man! Thanks a lot for the compliment and watch! Dunno if it was you asking about hair in the stream, but yea I just block in the different colors and values starting from the darkest to the lightest. It creates the illusion of hair strands etc. I then add a few stray strands to help the brain complete the picture for the viewer

yeah that was me (stephen)
do you use this method on most your work or do you use line work to start too?

I prefer this method (silhouetteΒ sketching). I find it easier to just keep refining as I go...almost like sculpting. I occasionally use lines to start, but I find myself very highly reliant on the lines for my end product which I hate. I have a few more gifs and progression shots on my gallery for other paintings. This one started up with a line sketch fav.me/d75g5bd .


I guess it really depends. But overall my preference is blocking in colors and values.Β
