Lemur

I'm getting frustrated not submitting anything, the painting I'm working on is taking forever and I've been in lemur mode for weeks in anticipation of a project I was going to do this year (I will probably now be working on gibbons)! I've never tried exact realism before, and while it won't improve my painting to a great extent and it's completely unoriginal as an exact copy of a reference photo this was fun to do. Painted from scratch in photoshop elements, no colour picking, a few filters used. Took roughly 4 days working on and off.

The photo reference is [link] by , so thanks to them for providing a great image!
