Obelix Step by Step

 

After chalking in the figure, I used some leftover paint to try 

and cover the canvas as much as I could 
using a palette knife for an impasto or textured effect later on.

Now trying to be true to the reference material...

with the light blues for Obelix's pants and different shades of 

green for the grasses and ochre for the pathway.

Finetuning grass and shoes and adding an obelisk in the distance.

Finetuning Obelix's fleshtones.

Some outlines and the green riveted belt.

The face that launched a thousand qua?

Outlines done and obelisk finalized.

Signed but still without an inscription on the obelisk.

Inscription done. A message for the ongoing senseless war 

in Ukraine perhaps? February 27.
