In fact, life is the dirty side of a very large mirror. It is a lifetime job for us is to keep rubbing it until the day we reach the end of our lives. On that day we will be able to clean this mirror and see our lives in our minds in full complexity. When the mirror was looked in to people would sigh and say: "Am I such a person? Is this my life?"

Perhaps the real "prophet" is ourselves, but we can only see what we have experienced after we become aware of our own existence... This painting is my mirror, I wiped it clean and then I transformed it into this painting.

At the beginning I want to perform a yellow street lamp under the lens, I think this is the most suitable light for people to think things over, in particular, on memories, the composition is far from the close, the long-term is the junction of the block, the close-range is something similar to the wood block wall, the figure is in the front of it, he is watching beyond the screen with his dog. .

I I created a vertical composition on a canvas of 2000 * 3000, since white canvas is too bright, so I chose a dark color as the background, and created a new layer to draw a rough outline draft. I created a line drawing as a starting point to draw over. This helped me to find a good relationship between the structures within the picture and create and overall feel for the final composition. On the final image this is not visible layer. However it helps a lot during the “creating” process


Next I created a color and draft layer on which I created the background for the composition, constantly adjusting the color and contrast values to create the feel I was aiming for. I created the mid ground areas in the same way on another separate layer. I finally blocked in the character and dog and made some fine adjustments to the composition.

At this point I felt that the composition was a little bottom heavy with not much going on at the top half of the image, so at this point I made a decision to completely rearrange the composition. With out pre-designs this can be quite tricky, so I finally decided on a warehouse as a background with nice large windows, iron cabinets, plenty of wooden blocks and some machine being assembled in the corner. After this redraw I was finally happy with the composition and could take it further.











After I was happy with my composition I started detailing the scene and adding more color depth to the image. Adding materials to the scene, such as a copper feel to the machinery to have a warm feel rather than the cold tones of steel. I found a nice balance between the colors and continued detailing.

I continued to detail the image further establishing a good blend between the harsh corners but soft tones of the cabinets compared to the more organic feel of the machinery. I added details such as cables, tools and a bottle of beer. I also tried to establish a link between the character and the room by including a small photograph. The picture is not very clear at a low resolution but has warm emotions connected to the character. I also extended a wire from the foreground to the background to bring the areas closer together. !

The final stage was to rearrange the lighting as I had added different light sources by changing the background. So I corrected the light interactions on the main character and adjusted the colors appropriately.

After a few further minor adjustments, the image was finally realized: Salvation
