This is a painting I did in about 3 hours or so. Some experimentation especially on the palette. Started out multiplying a redish brown color over some quick values then I went down to "difference" and got that hot red under glow...so I kept it. I like how this sketch to painting came out. Started out in Photoshop but I did most of the work in Painter.

Brad Pitt study.

I found this photo shoot of Brad Pitt in high res with some nice shadows, wrinkles, and poses. In my continuing fight to become more adept with Photoshop here is a value study...there's a tad of Painter in here too. A few new brushes came out of it including a stubble hair brush, and a couple of "Dual Brushes" which I never even bothered with before.
