wow this is really awesome - did you use a picture as a reference? about how long did this take you?

hey sorry for replying so late, this painting took me the best part of a day to 2 days, I tend to work quite fast because I apply the paint with my hands and do not use brushes at all-at least for this painting)
I used a photograph as reference but only loose reference as I wasn't trying to copy or imitate the photo if you get what I mean. I'm pleased with it. I actually sold it which in a way I regret doing because I think this one was definately one if not my favourite
Tahnks for your interest

so this is acrylic paint? it looks so much like oil pastel. i love the colours you used.
and yeah, i know what you mean about the photo.
it's such a nice painting

thanks and yeah I use acrylics because I feel like the colours stay bright and dry faster (also a lot less toxic on the hands!) I saw some of your work and I like it you are a good drawer

wow. this is so cool. love the hatching-ish way the paint is laid down. it's amazing that you can do this with just your fingers.

Man, I love this! I didn't realise at first that 'hand painting' actually meant HAND PAINTING!! Stunning.

oh man! gorgeous colour choice, and those brushstrokes are brilliant!
I only wish that I'll ever come close to this with my oil painting.

Fantastic details. I really love the effect. I've seen this kind of look in a painting somewhere else, but I'm drawing a blank at the moment. Wonderful job though. I really enjoy your use of color. Keep it up. ^_~

What do you mean by handpainting? Is it painted without brushes but with your hands? I was far too lazy to read all of those comments and see if this has been brought up already. I cant imagine you will reply though, nobody ever does when they have daily deviations...

You look like John Linnell of They Might Be Giants(just look him up in the wikipedia if you don't know)...! Perhaps a bit of Abe Lincoln, too.
To me, the colors look like feathers. If you touch the picture, it seems like the skin would be plush, but sun-kissed, so it would fluff back up if you press your hand down onto the mat of feathers that actually are your [hand]paintstrokes.
I could stare into the eye of this man forever. His soul seems so calm and carefree because he's always thinking.

Painting is something I cannot do, and so greatly admire. An excellent piece.
