Painting a Drunk Santa Having Tea | Light & Color Study (Timelapse)

A festive, slightly wobbly character study! This timelapse features a drunk Father Christmas enjoying a quiet (or not so quiet) cup of tea. The real focus was on intensifying the atmospheric lighting using strong, warm colors against cool shadows, inspired by the masterful works of JC Leyendecker.

Using a reference for the character pose and mood, I studied how Leyendecker used bold, graphic light, and shadow. This 3-hour session was all about pushing that contrast to create a sense of volume, warmth, and a bit of festive cheer... of the strong variety.
