its funny how the painting process normally works for me when i decide to go for a more finished piece

i start out feeling ambitious, thinking dynamics, feeling, and all that good stuff. but 15 minutes in i always feel like i bite off more than i can chew. like the ideas (even simple ones) just fly out of my hands, like im not capable of making them believable

its impossible to feel like something is finished, because there are always things you know can look much better, so its always a good idea to come back to old work.

im more content with the color and lighting of this one more than anything, ive always had a hard time making my work feel more atmospheric, especially in an outdoor environment. i personally get a sense for it in this one. but the composition could definitely be improved

overall i started this idea last year, but had no idea how to execute it properly. now that i have a little more knowledge in my toolbox, i was able to make more sense of it

Spent roughly 2-3 hours on it today, maybe 1-2 hours when i originally started it. So 5 hours overall

Photoshop CC - No References used (Which is bad more or less.. that bike doe)
