Schindler's List - Tumblr Posts
I was watching Schindler's List (one of my favorite movies 💖), when I had to stop the movie to take care of some business. When I came back, I noticed that I had paused it at the moment where Oskar Schindler gives his gold watch to Itzhak Stern for him to use as a bribe in order to get an elderly couple (the Perlmans) added to the list. 📝✍
This isn't only a pivotal moment in the film (and in the true story that inspired it as well 🕯️), but it also involves my favorite character (Itzhak Stern, played masterfully by Sir Ben Kingsley 👏), and some exquisite cinematography (just look at that camera work and lighting! 🎥✨) that inspired me to try to paint it in my beloved Paint Tool SAI. 🖌️
The painting took about 50 hours and was done with 1 medium/large flat brush, 1 small round/bristle brush (both with chalk texture to make them look more realistic and less "digital" 😉), and 1 very large water/blur brush (which was only used for the background, as I didn't want to blur the character so that the painting would look more traditional and less "photographic" than some of my previous works 👀).
The hardest part to paint was Itzhak's forehead and, to my great surprise, the easiest was the glasses! Which surprised me since it's the first time I've painted a realistic portrait of someone wearing them, haha. 👓🤭
