There is a point in every artist's life where he will feel the need to paint something majestically corny (think motivational posters). This is my point.
As time-consuming and tedious digital painting might be, I can never get that kick from anything else.
Portrait of Gwyneth Paltrow for illustration class. Still need a lot of work making my art resemble the real person, but I think I'm getting the hang of using the tablet to draw/paint.
