I loved teaching my first term teaching Digital Painting for Film and Games at #rmcad Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design. Today was the last day of the term and I finished my in-class demo painting; a master study of Raffello's portrait of Giovani de Medici. (source image from Wikipedia)

Kind of wish I had my own Patron of the Arts these days.
This is my homage to the OG.

This piece was created entirely in Photoshop CC with a Wacom Cintiq over 6 periods of 2.5-3 hours while the students worked on their final projects of their own master studies. It was the culmination of all the lessons they learned over the last 8 weeks.

First we picked a painting to study then speed-painted an underpainting.

Then we used the grid method to correct proportions and clean up the under-painting to a solid base of color and shape. Everything in it's right place. (long live liquify)

Then we blended and painted further detail and finally added layers of texture and fine tuned important focal area details. 

I still see things I'd like to fix, but I'm very happy with the results of this in-class work. Was this fellow missing a segment of his index finger on the left hand?
