Excellent painting tutorial. In case you don't know the terms in the last description, "edge variation" means having "hard" or "soft" edges, where hard edges are crisp and good for high-detail, and soft edges are more blurry/smudged and are good for giving objects the appearance of receding in distance. In the painting above, the snake's eye uses hard edges, and its teeth and underside of the jaw use softer edges. "Occlusion shadows" are the absolute darkest parts because they are the areas where no light reaches, not even reflected or ambient light. They tend to be small and are used sparingly. Above, there's an occlusion shadow around the snake's eye. However, the shading of the eye was probably exaggerated to make it stand out more, since it's the focal point.

my grief. AKA a little self-therapy art i did to digest the passing of one of my beloved pets. the passing wasn't recent but i realised I'm still aching so i decided 2 commemorate my baby through art.. she had a huge positive influence on my life overall and I want to focus on that positivity!

I was honored to be profiled by Laura Vailati for Realism Today. She focused on my U2 paintings, which I use as a sort of watercolor playground and idea generator for my other work. Thank you, Realism Today!
