I was going through some old reference photos I had collected a while back, and happened upon a photo of Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Negan from The Walking Dead. While I haven't watched the show in years, I always thought Morgan had a great look in the role. This image in particular also seemed pretty unique to me. As opposed to the more common maniacal pictures I've seen of him, this photo presented him as a little more... thoughtful. There's an inner working behind the eyes - whatever he's looking at, it has made him somewhat introspective and reflective. Maybe even a little sad. Plus, I enjoyed the lighting. So, I thought it would be fun to do a somewhat caricatured value painting based on the image. The results are below!

I recently wanted to play around with getting a pen & watercolor look in a digital painting. So, I painted this woman. It's nobody in particular - I used a bit of reference for the pose, but the main goal was about expanding technique vs representation. So, I finished the painting and show it to my wife. "Oh! Is that Ariel?"

So, here's a picture of The Little Mermaid (it seems)!
