The above was painted in about an hour and twenty minutes in Krita using this photo as reference:

this was my exercise for tonight, which is to say it was an exercise in practicing drawing from observation (my only goal was to get the colors and the general vibe close, and otherwise get as close of a likeness as I can in roughly an hour or less), but also it was exercise in that I put my cintiq on a standing desk that was raised all the way up and grooved out to drum and bass music through the entire drawing session. the painting serves no other purpose but i hope you enjoy it anyway

@aeva thanks for sharing the process as well ^_^

this must be so alien to the "ai art" cultists. what would the prompt even be? "take this gorgeous photograph and make a best attempt at copying it even though the original is already a perfect likeness also hey go do some cardio and listen to some music for me while you're at it" lol

if you are so inclined, i highly recommend doing your own "drawing and bass" night. my abs are now pleasantly sore and I feel spiritually refreshed.

also, I think #Arkady really liked the drum and bass music, as they were hanging out by the speakers behind my cintiq the entire time
