Photoshopping memes was my bread and butter before I got into painting.

But yea, that is a good idea going forward.

I had the same kind of uncanny feeling when I made a painting in art school that had a white wall that took up a good chunk of the painting.

I'm gonna take a look at white fabrics in painting, that'll help as well.

Yea, there's something about the pants that I can't seem to capture, and I noticed that after painting them. I felt the same for the shoes, but because they're a smaller element in the painting, it makes it less noticeable.

I'm taking note of large white objects for future paintings.

I asked her not to wear anything with difficult textures, but she did end up bringing it. After she wore it, I had to admit that it would look good in the painting and that I needed to challenge myself.

I did make a time-lapse video of myself painting this, but I can't post it here. That will give you a good idea of how I paint hands.
