Description
23:00. High on coffie. Haven't eaten since breakfast.HELL! I can't believe why the most beautiful expression has to be the most difficult to paint! Unfair. In the end, I think I made it. Not only is he happy, he is fine looking as well.
5ยฝ h. Made in Photoshop. I used a photo reference. (No way I could do something like this without a reference
)

I'd love to see the reference too!
This painting is wonderful and actually made me smile when I looked at it, one of the best 'smile' deviations i've come across whilst searching dA, represents smile the most.

I still love this piece so much.
By the way, someone asked me whether that is a famous singer in the picture. But I didn't know. Who's that guy, anyway?

I don't know who he is. It's just a photo I grabbed from corbis.com. 
Thank you so much!

They warn us from using stock photos as reference to avoid the fake smiles, but I think sometimes they are adorable, carring the emotions we search for. You paint wonderfuly, a

I couldn't agree more.

I use stock photos as practice too, much easier than searching for a model, whod be available when you have time. Still, I find it's harder actually to draw from photost than from life - it does play nicely with your dimensional thinking.

I have this weird urge to dress in yellow and purple and orange, start a bonfire at sunset, and dance around singing "One love, one heart, let's get together and feel alright'. <3 the happy feeling.

Then you can imagine the smile which was practically plastered on my face during the 5ยฝ hours I was painting this piece.

Whoa. Just... whoa. At first I swore this was a photograph but then I was like... "no wait, it isn't... holy cow, man." Seriously, you are amazing, and this is wonderful. I bet it looks just like the photo reference 'cause it's so amazing, if not better. I wish I could be more critical, but a) I see nothing to be critical about! and b) I'm really bad with the criticism thing, mainly when it comes to artstuff. But anyways, great job. :3

Thanks a lot, Pet Duck! Well, I did not intend it to be so detailed at first, but then I kinda continued until I became the way it is. It was wonderful fun to paint it, I think I was smiling most of the time. It was difficult not to.
