I haven’t done a photoreffed portrait piece for a while so working on this was a great exercise! Hyper photorealism wasn't the real focus of this piece so I concentrated more on colour and structure.
Depicting materials is a very difficult task because light plays on each surface differently.
Sometimes it's nice for a painting not to look exactly like a photo, and this is one of those times. I love this. (Chris Hemsworth is awesome). Amazing job
