I'm not following..who is 'his'?
This is the opposite of looking at it. It's interpreting strictly what's in front of you.
Fly's bike was done at 6400% mag. That means that I have absolutely no clue what I'm looking at-I have to go by individual pixels and interpret them. For the most part, I would take a pixel from the center of a group, match that color and draw the section. That section might be 100 pixels or 5...I go by intensity within a location (like, on top the outline would be lightest).
Once the bike is done I have to draw it a second time, only with no real color seperation, just generalizations of the area-that second bike goes behind the first to fill it in.
Fly's bike took 3 months, about 80-100 hours. It came thisclose to being a finalist in a recent artshow, but the second judge is 'old-school'-doesn't like digital art.
