This is a 1-hour Speed Painting project in which we used Marilyn Monroe's portrait as a reference image to work on for the Digital Painting class.
Painting the portrait as close to the original image shown below as possible is no different in its challenge when comparing to doing Speed Painting works in colors.
The obstacles I had during the process include details of her hair, neck, eyes, and teeth. Blending the shades in was also part of the challenge.
After working on the speed painting process, I reviewed my final work in comparison to the original portrait and noticed that the details around her eyes and teeth need more improvement.
Those were because I focused too much on drawing the details of her hair, and therefore for the future Speed Painting projects I will have to consider balancing on where I should focus on even if the time it takes for painting the most difficult part of the work will take the most amount.
