Description
A little painting I just did of Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor from Doctor Who.I am on a sick leave with a busted leg and have been keeping myself occupied by re-watching pretty much every season of Doctor Who. That and all the juicy Doctor news and stuff that came from the San Diego Comic-Con last weekend lead me to pain Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor. I have always liked Tennant the best as Doctors go but Smith has really grown on me lately.
There are a couple of steps to the finished piece in my blog again [link]
Timey Wimey and so on.

Thank you very much for your critique!
It actually took me quite a long time to decide on the pose. I was worried it would be too typical, as you said. But in the end I felt that this pose showed his youth and extremely old age, joy and sadness at the same time the best. Smith plays all of that so well and to me that is the core of the Doctor, all the opposites.
I did use a LOT of reference for this pic as his face really is so unique that it is hard to make it look right, but at the same time tried to shy away from other peoples visions of him. Not an easy feat as I have seen so many fabulous portraits of him too lately
Whovians for life!

I'm glad you appreciate it! I do love that about the doctor too. The conflicts within him are amazing and really do define him as the last timelord.

Oh, wow, that's flawless!
How do you do your blending? It always seems so awkward for me :S
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! Actually I just paint with a very low opacity brush. I don't really use any sort of blending tools or such. I might soften the brush a bit (I only use one), but that's it. Sorry, I wish I had better advice to give

It's totally fine! I'll give that a try, thanks!

This portrait of Matt is quite lovely, you caught his expression just right. I'm wondering if this is based on photo, and you used software like Painter, or did you draw it from scratch? Amazingly done, though, one of the best I've seen. It really captures him well.

Thanks! I did use several photos as reference but I did still draw it from scratch. It has been done fully in Photoshop. There's a link to my blog in the description where you can find a couple of process shots if interested
