Several years ago I read a book on famous quotes and did the person actually say it. Turns out Einstein didn't say his famous quote on doing the same thing over and over again exactly.
Since then I've thought about painting him, and now I have!

Hair
Saw this reference image and really wanted to paint her hair. Afterwards I'm thinking maybe it's a bit on the Karen side...?

We took my mom here for her birthday. It's a place she'd been wanting to photograph for a long time. It was a fantastic trip!

Scary movies don't tend to get me worked up. Spider clowns in sewers don't do it for me. But No Country for Old Men did. It's lived rent free in my head ever since.

Going for something a bit more stylized here. I tried to make her eyes pop and draw in the viewer. How'd I do?

February 11th is the day my dad passed away last year. This painting sort of expresses how I feel. My brother and I are getting together that day. I hope I get a good cry in that day. It's been a while.

When watching the timelapse of the last drawing I really liked when the beard had white highlights added before the skin. So I tried to get something like that here with more contrast to his skin.

A second pass at practice before the live model sessions begin again. This is digital and done from reference. I used liquify far more than normal to get the proportions right. It's amazing how skewed my view is without it.

Sahelanthropus Tchadensis
From the same museum, this one I painted from a photo I took off it. It was about the size of my hand, full grown adult from about 200k years ago from Chad, Africa. It's a replica we got to touch which was cool.
