Hi, Max
I do use pictures when I paint, but I try not to use the most recognizable ones.
Because the most important thing (and the hardest) is making it look like Harrison Ford.
It is hard to say how long it takes me to finish a painting,it all depends on how much
time I have, inspiration and so on. The one I posted on the forum only took me about
ten hours! to do, over the course of two days. Usually it takes half a month or so.
Well, you´re right the shirt is blue because of the shadow effect but also because
I thought that if I painted it "stone white" it would blend in with the sun behind him.
I was looking for a contrast-effect so to speak.
Thanks for the info on the pictures of Indy-gear. I do own a mark VII bag myself
but I don´t have a gun and I really need some pictures of that for my next painting.

regarde, Krede

Ps: Maybe the people who are writing the forum novel would like me to
do a cover painting for their work?
