Evil Spock
Continuing with the "Star Trek" theme, here's Evil Spock from the classic episode "Mirror, Mirror". You can tell he's evil 'cuz he has a goatee. That just science, people!
The palette this time was: Titanium White, Naples Yellow (Red Lt.), Yellow Ochre, Burnt Umber, Alizarin Crimson, Cobalt Blue (Hue), and Ivory Black.
This painting was about 2 hours.

STEP ONE: Here is the quickly sketched out Evil Spock in pencil on a 5.5" x 8" gessoed hardboard. I also had a little bit of left over paint, so I used it to tone the hardboard.

STEP TWO: Here are the color breakdowns after the first half hour, using a #10 flat brush.
* * *
STEP THREE: After the next 45 minutes, I was mostly finished with the face using a #10 round brush.

STEP FOUR: The last 45 minutes was painting the hair, clothes, highlights and shadows, and other final touches. Good enough to call it DONE!

This was done with acrylic paint on 5.5" x 8" gessoed hardboard.
