This series of posts has been about my digital painting process. Therefore I have decided to show the proverbial " Two steps forward, one step back". While working on this it became apparent that I was losing the freshness and action of the piece by getting bogged down in rendering and adding detail (referring to the bottom image of the three). The silhouette of the figure had become stiff and lifeless. The major advantage of working digitally is the ability to save and work on any number of versions of a particular piece. At this point it is clear that it is time to go back to an earlier stage and do what can be done to save the energy of the piece and not overwork it into oblivion. The next time you see this it will be the final. I Promise.
