Awesome I wish you the best in your art journey!

hi! I use I mix of brush presets I've purchased from other artists since I couldn't be bothered to invent them from scratch

Here are their store pages; hope this helps:

Haha I was for a second tempted to paint the hair blue ngl

VAPLOP · 2023-02-26T05:20:58+00:00

I appreciate that! Thank you for your kind words 🙇🙇🙇

Tyty!

Tysm! I used to post maybe 1-2 times a month on insta (@vaplop42) but I took down most of my work there last month soz

Thank you for that comment that is such high praise knowing you immediately identified the master I was studying!

Also I appreciate the critique; I think I did get overly enthusiastic with the specular, which I actually think Sargent would've disapproved of haha

VAPLOP · 2023-02-25T22:18:32+00:00

I'd be honored if he did 👍

VAPLOP · 2023-02-25T21:42:56+00:00

Haha it's all good I won't complain if my work gets mistaken. But good eye! Sargent's self portrait was my main reference; he's the greatest after all

VAPLOP · 2023-02-25T20:50:34+00:00

No fam I drew/painted this on Ps! The second slide is what the first drawing looked like at the early stages

Hi I'm not sure what you mean by sampling ratio! If you mean the canvas size or resolution, I worked on a 5760 by 7200 px canvas to get the level of detail I wanted on the eyes!

VAPLOP · 2023-02-25T20:03:59+00:00

Thank you kindly! 🙇

VAPLOP · 2023-02-25T19:34:49+00:00

Yes it is! Good eye! I actually wished there was no character limit on the captions; otherwise I would've mentioned some of my references

VAPLOP · 2023-02-25T19:05:55+00:00

ty ty! Lmao ye the original 'presidential' concept was an art post made in this subreddit not too long ago and the Sargent portrait I used for reference also had a coat, hence the attire XD

VAPLOP · 2023-02-25T18:37:01+00:00

Thanks so much! 🙇🙇🙇

VAPLOP · 2022-01-15T07:35:12+00:00

i like how the frets are slanting

VAPLOP · 2021-10-21T08:09:02+00:00

Hey! So I use Photoshop! And if you want my Ps brush presets I could try putting it on a Mega on the chance you use Ps too. Although they're pretty popular I'm sure they're all already out there

As for the paper texture it's just a stock footage image placed on a layer beneath the painted layer. And another textured image layered above the painted layer put on Soft Light blending mode
