Description This is a speedpainting I made after watching this excellent tutorial: [link] Go check it out, its worth it!

I used a nice wallpaper that I found on my PC as reference. I'm not sure where I got that image from, but I guess it was part of a wallpaper-pack I've downloaded someday.
The photographer of the original image is Kennan Ward: [link]

Time: approx. 40 mins (which is quite long, I guess, but its no race, is it?)
Tools: CS 5 and Intuos 3

you only spent 40 minutes on this?! Wow! Most speed paints are like 2 hours, or an hour or so! This is really excellent!

Thanks for your comment.
Well, I didn't really take the time but I painted the image while watching or rather listening to a TV show that takes about 45 mins... By now, I've edited some details so that I certainly spent about an hour or so on it in total.

Ahhh, understandable! It's still wonderful either way! I wish I could speed paint like that

Again thanks.
But still, apart from choosing a photo that I like and using it as reference to paint after it for practice, I'm not really responsible for the motive itself. Credit really needs to go to the original photographer, Kennan Ward, who actually managed to photograph this in real life, which is quite amazing if you ask me.
