Twelve paintings in and I still hear his voice in my head. OHHH, you believe in Samuel L. Jackson now, huh, bitch? GOOD, 'CAUSE YOU 'BOUT TO MEET HIM!

I particularly enjoy the scarf. That was my favorite part to paint.

        To be fair, the photo reference is also a bit weird. Something about the lighting and how his skin got squished by the scarf, I guess. Keep it up, your Samuels are getting better at every iteration.

          Thank you! I almost didn’t go with this image because of the lighting. It’s clearly movie lighting and not natural lighting which is hard to comprehend and paint. But I thought it would be a challenge and that’s what made the decision for me.

    They’re looking better and better every day! I LOVE the scarf.

    One thing I noticed is that the shading on his right (on the left side of the painting) cheek is not soft enough. It should be more of a gradient instead of a dark line, I think.

      Thank you! And yeah I can. I still can’t quite get his expressions right though. This one is closer than the others but still not quite right.

    Day 50 comes along and it’s a picture at a weird angle nobody can find on the internet of him getting milk out of his fridge in the middle of the night
