Wow. I don't think I'd have the patience to draw at that sort of scale!

Well the idea is to prevent myself from wanting to zoom in too much when I paint and also to learn how to paint "faces" smaller and at less distance. Painting a close-up face is pretty easy...ish but when you have to do a small face in the background you tend to zoom in and paint it has a closer up face. then when you zoom out it looks just wrong. I used mostly a soft round brush for these and then a hard brush with no opacity for all the little details and hair. I have also been playing around with the sharpen tool to help bring out textures.

progress....sheesh 20 hours in and feels like another 20 to go!

Wow, still nailing this painting!

I hear what you say about painting smaller faces at a distance - suddenly each brushstroke counts, and you really have to calculate every mark you make.

One suggestion - the door at the back does distract a bit from the focal point... You could probably add some atmospheric depth to make the fox character pop some more.
