SoA - Tommy Flanagan

One more Sons of Anarchy portrait. Tommy Flanagan as "Chibs"

Based from this pic: [link]

I had to improvise the top and bottom half of this because it was a pretty cropped reference picture.

Same deal with the leather jacket as last time; I just painted in the tones as I normally would with the airbrush, then put a leather texture photo over the top and worked it in with a little Doge/Burn tool for the highlights and shadows. I really love adding in bits of texture like that

Photoshop CS5 + 20 hours or so.
Airbrush + Texture brushes.
Dodge/Burn and Sharpen/Blur for finishing touches!

I like everything in threes
