Description First attempt at realism painting.

Was just blocking in shapes and tones without any lineart, and the process is both challenging and rewarding. Also, old people are fun to paint/draw with their age spots and wrinkles.

Medium: Photoshop 7 default brushes
Reference: John Malkovich in Burn After Reading
