This is where I’m at so far on this acrylic painting. I still have many layers to add to it. It’s like putting together a visionary puzzle. I started by painting the base layer of the shaman in the center.
After the very basic under painting was done I went in and added light values to his face and threw in some symmetrical lines between his skin tone. Similar to that of wood to create his connection to nature. I also began adding the details and colors to his head dress and giving it some more depth and perspective.
Above his forehead I decided to paint in a sort of pathway or portal. To where you may ask? Well i’ll leave that up to your imagination. I also added in a lovely little sparrow flying beside him.
After this I began adding more details around the being, like a pair of eyes gazing into your soul and below him a rubiks cube and some more symmetrical dimensions. This is the stage Im currently in and will be adding much more to it today!
I hope you guys enjoyed seeing the process behind the magic that is art. Thank you for taking the time to go through my post, I hope you are having a beautiful moment wherever you may be!

This is amazing!! I love the patterns you incorporate in certain places! Followed :D
Thank you very much! :)
Powerful man. really cool seeing you break down the process like that
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the insight into my process.
Yea it was a great addition, especially for someone who is not visually artistic at all like myself, it helps us understand the steps guys like you take. Like I had no idea people layered their paintings like that but it makes total sense
I love your art, thanks for sharing the different steps of creation.
