The stages of making an acrylic painting

Look at what happened when i tried messing with acrylic without having any experience in the matter. This was a comissioned work for an office at a computer company.


Stage 1: Initial sketch - the concept is - a big high-tech boss is astonished by a Newton's cradle, and playing with it like a dumb kid.

Stage 2: the flat man with weird hands

Stage 3: me and my frieds posing for refference

Stage 4: everything becomes red. l didn't take a picture of that. real shame too, it was funny as hell. This is after i fixed it a little, and decided the man deserved a better hand. Also, his face becam emore three-dimansional, and the facial expression improved.

Stage 5: some make-up and a new hand. still having hard time with the hand gesture.

Stage 6: two new hands and more shadowing to the face

Stage 7 : the suit, for some reason, becomes gray.

Stage 8: the suit is brown again and the man goes blind.

Stage 9 : the laptop and the background are finished. Coming towards the end.

Stage 10: Horray, the work is done! the man is oddly starring at Newton's cradle and amazed by it. why? because he's an idiot, that's why.

By the way, this took about a month and a half to complete.
Thank you, come again.
