So what is Vegemite? According the the packaging it is “Concentrated Yeast Extract”. I did a little research and originally came from the left overs from brewing beer. Supposedly it is quite good for you and is full of Vitamin B. The taste is hard to describe salty, tangy, and bitter. It is definitely an acquired taste.
It was difficult for me to find it in the US, and I had to order it off the internet. There was some controversy in the media awhile back about it being banned in the United States. I guess it was like everything else in the media, overblown sensationalism with little truth and a lot of spin.

A special teaching system which I have developed specifically to enable the student to learn and remember the main technical principles of the Flemish painting traditions in a very short time. Students will practice paintng on step-by-step template with 6 windows reflecting the stages of classical multilayer technique, from imprimatura to the final brush strokes. In the windows showing the previous stages (layers), students will imitate the exact color and shade mixture of the next layer, following the example of the template, without waiting for the paint to dry.

Another digital painting done from scratch in photoshop using Wacom Intuos 3 tablet. Artwork is completely freehand drawn, with reference photo set off to the side for glancing at. No tracing… 
Actual time to do pic was about 3 and a half hours.
UPDATE:
For the people that think this is fake– simply do a little research. It’s as easy as clicking on my username to see the list of all of my other videos. There you will find an array of different subjects and different mediums… Including photo real techniques with real paint. It it’s a pretty reasonable conclusion that if I can do the things I do with real paint– why would I feel the need or insecurity to fake it with the “less impressive” digital mediums? Why waste my time?
You could also consider the efforts it would take to fake such a thing- consider the layering of the shadows and gradients… Look at how carefully it is done in these vids. There is a visible build-up of LAYERS of tones shadows and colors. To fake something like that would take so much effort, why would a guy who can do all of the other OBVIOUS traditional medium paintings on the same channel waste his time?
TO MANY PEOPLE ASK:
Why “photorealism”?
Why not just use a camera?
The answer is simple. I’ve made the point many times in my replies, comments and descriptions. But I’ll make it clearer here for those who do not understand:
It’s for practice. It is the same as a musician practicing scales, so that he can write better songs…Or even a musician who plays a song from another famous musician on a CD– also to make himself better… To inspire/aspire to become better at the craft/skill.
It’s the same with the art. Sure I am just acting like a human camera and re-creating every detail and color I see– but that’s where the conditioning is. Same as that musician that is replicating the sounds of a scale or someone else’s song. (Why not just say to the musician, “why bother playing that song? Just put in the CD?” )
The fact that it is all freehand and controlled by my judgement makes it so valuable to attempt…. I have to be able to see and recognize exact tones of color, and be able to recreate it with extreme accuracy from scratch. I must be able to recognize every detail and the consistency that makes that detail REAL. It strengthens my abilities to be able to create works of art that come from my imagination.
Aside from practice, it is also a very commonly sought skill in the commercial trades to be able to mimic real-life with art. In addition to that, it does entertain the majority.
So there you go.

The last classwork oil painting for this semester in Painting class.
Just my glasses and I. Nothing special.
Don’t be afraid of colors! Use lots and lots of it! Just be careful not to muddy the colors. n___n

I did this as an excercise for the purpose of, quite simply, practice. It’s been a while since I attempted anything photo-real… It’s very good to do this kind of thing because it strengthens your freehand drawing abilities, as well as developing an eye for detail.
Freehand drawn in photoshop cs2 (from a reference photo off to the side) with a wacom tablet.
time-lapsed… real time was about 3 and a half hours.

definitely one of my most difficult project, the idea was just too interesting to not give it a try
————————————————–
the approach
Since it is next to impossible to focus on two things simultenously, it is however, possible to always keep both hands moving…
I make sure one hand knows how and where to move for the next few strokes while I focus on the other hand, making rapid and constant attention switching. Sometimes when one of my hand is about to draw something difficult like a specific curve, i would move my other hand to draw something simple like filling an area with shade that needs repetitive strokes. This way I manage to keep both hands moving while alternating focusing on each hand in rapid succession. (for example when i was drawing Morgan freeman’s mouth with my left, i move my right hand to draw the Tim’s hair since it requires much less attention and accuracy, in fact for most the video when one hand is doing something defining the other is doing shading )
This approach allow me to finish two portraits in way less time than the time I would spent drawing two consecutive portraits with my dominant hand… and it is cool to look at, just pretty tiring when making it, after a hour of constantly switching attention I do feel a little crazy..
