watching you

back in black~ after choosing to paint without using black pigment for a while i felt that i kinda missed the color. although i know some combinations of other pigments that would give me a black tint, i've decided to consume my remaining tube of black oil paint before it goes stale. Here's a picture of my grumbacher ivory black before i started this project.

as i said earlier, i designed my next project to really use a lot of black paint. hopefully i get to consume the whole tube on this and have tons of fun.

starting with the eyes i wanted them to glow for a haunting look. i also tried to make the eyes intense, as if it was looking directly at the viewer. then i start with the color test on the upper left face furs.

after painting the fur, i decided to block in my black paint so i can have a sneak preview of what it will look like finished.

i repeat the same steps from the picture above to the lower part of the painting.

Here's of my ivory black grumbacher again, more than half of it consumed, too bad there's still 1/8 of paint left in the tube.

i wasn't able to take many pictures of the process but i had a blast ^_^
