Want to know how he does it? Same way I do it. Before the internet, I used models, and I owned a giant stack of anatomy books. He uses paints, neutral colors and primaries, whereas I use B pencils HB - 8B, and just like applying eyeliner and mascara, I practice, practice, practice every day.
Oooooh big reveal.
What a dick.
You have the internet. WE ALL USE REFERENCE SHOTS. All of us. I can keep an image in my head for a very long time, but to say every visual, every detail, comes solely from your head cannot physically be true after the age of 5.

Want to know how he got a painting to look like that? Ask Google or YouTube. And then practice. Keep practicing. I practice every day. 40 years later, still practicing.

More artists. Less politicians.

Whatever your opinion of Tom Cruise, after he told students of The Actors Studio, something along the lines of, "Direct me. Guide me. As an actor I want to share your vision." To me, that's the coolest thing you can say in his position.
Visual artists are ridiculous.
Teach others along the way.
