Here is a painting of Hannible Lecture. I wanted to zoom way in and focus on his creepy expression as he stairs forward in the movie. I experimented with the different tones on the skin. I used a mixture of cool and warm colors. The cool neutral blues and greens make the red around his eyes really pop. I also worked with texture, which is extremely important when painting. The last thing I wanted was it to be smooth and boring. Just as I was about to call this painting finished I decided to spray the blood across his face and I’m glade, it took the piece to another level. I owe that to Anthony Hopkins because Silence of the Lambs is one of the greatest movies and Hannible is one of my favorite characters of all time.
