sudan

Hi guys! look! i can still paint realistically!

This was a lot of fun. Digital. about.... 4hours. I had some downtime at work and this is what happened. There's definitely some places for improvement, but for not painting realistically in a reeeallllyyy long time, I'm really happy with the result.


I feel like this is my most successful use of color so far. I'm always learning.

big oops though- i painted it pretty much on one layer in photoshop. i hear some places that is a nono. :/


Woop!
