Joker Speed Paint

Hi Peoples!! This is a bit of a Tutorial I suppose or a WIP.

I know pretty much everyone and their Mother is doing Joker drawings these days but I thought it would be nice to do a digital speed painting that was a little more cartoony, slightly exaggerated in the face and all around simplified and painterly. Like a comic book version of the movie but not trying to make it look exactly like Heath Ledger (Who did an AMAZING job in this movie, BTW!). Plus, I hadn't done a completely digital painting in a while.

My friend Stacy's Mom actually said ,"I'm gonna cry, it's so good!" when she saw this piece. She welled up too. I think that about says it all!

Enjoy the process! Hope you like this piece.
