Speed Paint 02 - Soldier (1.5 hour in 5 minutes)

Struggling with this one. Saw another speedpaint tutorial vid before starting with this and drew inspiration from it but struggling to find a suitable brush to start with as u can see.

As I got further, im struggling to produce a subject of the painting and then the scale. Until finally i started to put a figure at the top of the composition and foliage at the high foreground which has established the scale.

Also Ive played with one tone of blue instead of B&W for this one. Still not very happy with composition but ive set 1 hour as limit but spent 30 minutes extra in finding pace in brushes to start anyways.

Still using Jonas De Ro brushes but just cant find a suitable one this time unlike on my previous video.

Thanks for watching!
