I really thought I had a sketch of some sort for this painting, but I guess not. Man do I suck at planning ahead. I found the canvas in a pile of canvases I started painting and then abandoned, and just started slapping down color.
I did these first two shots in a couple hours. I think I had wanted to keep this one somewhat clean and pastel, which of course was overcome in the end by my love of dry brushing and dark colors.
Everything up until this point was painted with one of the crappiest, oldest brushes I have, because I like it like that. Actually, most of the stuff after this point was painted with this brush, too.
Starting to put in details...
And baa-naaa! Painting! There may have been a few more steps in there, but I forgot to photograph them, so feel free to imagine whatever you like.

I *love* watching people draw/paint, I always wondered how you work and now I got a taste of it! Acrylics are so great in the sense that, if you change your mind about what you started off with, you can just paint over it. I think pastel colours are not you, they're too bland and bleargh, haha. The complete opposite of your personality. I always enjoyed your work for being so fun, gritty and so un-girly. I love the way you render, it's really loose and energetic.
Mucho awesome job, missy! <3
I have a boner for this.
Also - YOU HAVE TOO MANY BLOGS!
Your art is fabulous!
