How To: Draw and paint Al Gore

This video is a time lapse drawing and painting of former Vice President Al Gore. Attempt to make "Mr. Global Warming" look like Mr. "hottie" Global Warming. Stage 1 is a pencil drawing. In Stage 2, scan the drawing, adjust the mid tones digitally, and then reprint it. In stage 3, do an underpainting with markers (both paint and illustration markers). In stage 4, build up layers of opaque and quick drying acrylic paint to get a fanciful Al Gore. In stage 5, do the detail work (such as drawing hair and the subtleties of the eyes) reminicient of his starlett days in "An Inconveinent Truth." Use a colored pencil and paint markers again. This video will show the viewer contemporary painting techniques.
