1) I did a sketch based on the original movie poster except that I then turn the main characters into "tin people". Trying to keep the main positions and mood the same. When done I then bring this into Painter and finish up the image.
2) I am no master painter..and I am learning as I go. I basically start with finding a color scheme (I used the original poster to base my colors). I then start filling in the values and adding an overall color to the painting. I then go in and fill in all the details (this takes a long time). I use some textures for parts of the dress and the sweater. To finish up I tweak the overall lighting on the candles and the background and Voila..painting #2 done. Now I just have the last and final painting do to. I will post that as soon as I am done. Enjoy!
