And the final painting and character of Team RWBY as a Bouguereau-inceptionism.

Here you find the original Bouguereau painting for reference.



In the original, William Bouguereau showcased, what I assume to be a knack for having dark hair vanish into the background. You see that very often in his works.



Actually the background allowed for the bold hair-color-change because of the resulting bright/dark contrast which pretty much helps to make the character stand out more.

It was just more difficult to learn how he painted longer and curly hair. I guess I did not nailed that - yet, but it looks OK imho.

Another big issue was the lights and integration of such an artificial element such as the cyborg-arm.



On my Patreon page you can view a process video that also showcases some pointers that I used for the composition - and as always: Patrons see it first



If you want to learn a bit more about how I use composition and what I learned from the old masters, feel free to download my books on Gumroad (link on top).

thanks!
