      You will likely become way better than I if you are doing it at a young age. I started very late.

        I have a grandchild… So maybe I’m out of time 😂.

        I’d love to hear about your workflow process, brushes you use, and so on.

          well, I use Krita and I only rely on default brushes. I use one with a bit of smear effect. I usually draw on a single layer and I paint in a fidgety manner, which means I am constantly making mistakes and fixing them. I peeked at your profile, you are damn talented yourself! kudos!

            Thank you, trying to get there. And this is helpful and justifying.

            Tomorrow I go to paint from a live model for the first time. I’m excited and nervous. But unlike most of my paintings I’ll use a tablet connected to a PC instead of my phone.

      awww, that’s a big compliment! Actually, I am not a fan of too much realism but I just put too much detail around their nose and then I sort of had to do the same to the whole piece.
