I started this back in the summer as a “learning experience” piece for Painter…then I overloaded myself with so much work that I had no time to sit down and finish it until now. It was designed to be more expressive so I could explore the different brush options that Painter has and learn how to mix those tools with Photoshop to my advantage. I wish I’d done this sooner; I adore how the two programs complement each other and my process has been sped up considerably.

The colors are a bit bolder than I normally go for. Trying to expand my horizons and all that. I had a blast with those skintones. :]

Crits are welcome and as always, thank you for looking.
