Hello everyone! Hope you're doing great? Been testing out new brushes recently, and so far, this has got to be my favorite.
Asides trying out the brush, I also wanted to explore a different way of painting. This time around, I didn't start out with a clean line work, I tried building the tones layer by layer, while at the same time, trying not to blend the colors completely and also painting it from an expressionistic POV. It was pretty fun, I suggest you try it too!
A little bit of grain for more texture!
Here's a link to the reference used : )
