He's using a better paint. This stuff just is clogging up and it's crap. I'm sure when I get there. So I get there and he's doing a Mick Jagger and he starts with a mid tone. He starts blocking in the face with a little tiny drawing of where the face goes. He starts doing that. He starts adding some highlights. There's the photo, his reference.

And I'm like, why are you concentrating so much on the cheek first? And he's like, it's different every time. And I go, what paints are you using? And he's like, it was regular acrylic paint. What brushes do you have? Regular brushes. I'm like, how come mine doesn't look like yours? Let me try what he's doing. You start with a mid-tone. I'm going to do that Danny again. Start with a mid-tone.

I'll start adding some highlights. And I did that and everybody kept coming over going like, did you just do that? And I was like, yeah, I don't know how, but it's very cartoony still. He's doing a very realistic Mick Jagger. Look how real that is. And you're just watching and he doesn't teach you anything. So he just starts painting.

So this is the photo he had as a reference, but then this is his painting. Right. And because I'm there, he's not teaching you how to paint.

You're seeing that there isn't a trick.

I thought he had a trick and that's why I couldn't get any further. He's using the same brush and the same paint. Well, how come I can't do that? And you go, you do it. I go, I'm going to try and do something realistic. I've never done realistic before because I'm a cartoonist and everything was cartoony. And that was just easier for me because I thought I would need too much training.

I did another Trejo. I started doing a realistic. I finished out just one section of his face. and put the pen down because I did that. The same day. I got out of my way because seeing him get out of his own way, I think that's why sometimes people need to go to school for stuff like that. Because then now, well, I just did four years of school. So now I must know.
