Okokok, there are still a lot of nuances I need to get right when it comes to editing digitally and shading effectively but I think this artwork is a big step.
Definetly my favourite artwork so far this year and one of my all time faves
Shading with black still feels weird. In my view I sacrifice details for realism but the result seems to be worth it
Anyway, it was looong process. A process you can see in a few days when I'm done editing the hours of painting in a sweet three minute timelapse vidA
