Hey!
Hope you're well! This is gonna be a quick post tonight, been trying to speed through learning how to use Krita, so, lot's of experiments and tests! Been absolutely loving the inking look, all of these were inked in Krita and most of the shadows were applied there as well.
I hope you like the overall look so...

Hey!
Hope you're well! Here's the latest portrait I've been working on, I wanted to take the Krita process I've shared and try and bring it to a higher level of finish - this is what I ended up with. I'm happy with the overall look and I'm definitely excited to continue on pushing the style and learning more about how t...

Hey!
So, this post is meant to accompany the previous tutorial post, here's a bit of the last few images I've worked on in a similar approach - I'm gonna plan on doing a larger image in this style soon - but first thing is wrapping up the FF7 painting!
These images are super sketchy, I would take these a lot furt...

Hey!
Hope you're well! Today I wanted to drop a whole bunch of things I've been working on since I started playing with the Krita+Photoshop approach, this whole experimental phase has been so much fun, I'm loving this process a whole lot.
So far I think this has given me the most success out of all the approache...
Hey!
Welcome to the next Discord Challenge! This time around we'll be doing something a bit more collaborative than previous challenges - you'll still be creating your own character - but this time around you'll be using a template(provided below) to create a character with layered arms, lower body, chest and head.

Hey!
Hope you're well! Here is another experiment using the technique I used on the previous Moblin post - I wanted to have a go at doing a more realistic portrait while keeping it painterly, this one was a quick turnaround so I didn't get too intense with the realism, but I worked it up to a point I'd consider it finis...

Hey!
Hope you're well! Worked up a 2 hour demo(the Moblin) that I will be doing full commentary on, but in the meantime, here's a bunch of stuff to check out - PSD is layered if you'd like to look through the steps - most of the process here is following the approach that Piotr Jablonski uses to paint between Krita and ...

Hope you're well! I wanted to share - while my hands are a bit messed up - some of my initial sketches compared to the finals. These are some of my chicken scratch ideas that I put in my sketchbooks to knock out ideas before fleshing things out with tighter drawings on the tablet. You can more or less see how thing...
