Description The Mortal Instruments - Alec Lightwood.

I started this a looooooooooong time ago, and I felt like finishing it

Reference: Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Painted from scratch in Photoshop with Wacom BAMBOO tablet. This is not a photo of any kind, duh. Painted without grids.


As always, comments and other kind of feedback is more than welcome and greatly appreciated! Thanks for looking!

Amazing work! Features, and eveything are exactly dead on. Did you paint it in color, or black and white, and then layered it with color? Either way, once again: amazing work.

Beautiful portrait, I like the prevailing grey tones you've chosen, and there is a sort of radiance about his eyes and skin...

No problem. If you haven't been asked a billion times already, I'm really interested in seeing a tutorial on your painting process. You have such authenticity to your paintings that I wish I could achieve. Perhaps a tutorial could give us all some tips? Thank you!

How about a speed painting video ? Cause I've started making a few
Other than that, I have one walk-through in my gallery, maybe I'll make another one sometime soon
