Process
Fun little speed painting of the Beastie Boys. Again made with my limited color palette, consisting of only Magenta, Primary Yellow, Cyan, Titanium White and Oxyd Black.
I painted my background in magenta this time, just to see what it would do. I like doing experiments like these. I left out the original background in my reference image to focus on the three MCs in the artwork.
I didn’t particularly think about the process. I just drew the outlines on the magenta background using a black multiliner pen and went from there. Added in the dark parts and large blocks of color of the jackets, then focusing on the faces and again intentionally letting the background come through here and there. I think it gives it a nice touch. To finish it I only added some extra strokes to the background to give it a bit of depth.
