I've just finished editing the first batch of photos from my Europe trip last year 🙌 There's over 3000 photos from across 7 countries, and so many would be great references for artists.

I'm excited to share more soon!

Here's a quick peek in the meantime

Continued my study from last Friday with the focus on pushing the rendering of the face and balancing detail elsewhere in the image.

I continued my Ghibli study from #Studybuddies over the weekend. There's a huge amount of detail in the textures of the original that are just gorgeous to get in close and admire. I appreciate studies like this for providing the time to pour over such wonderful pieces whilst you try to emulate them.

This was what it looked like in Krita until panic smoothing and characters at the 1hr 55 mark😅

#studybuddies tonight with 2rs on this Ghibli screenshot. Didn't get around to colours in that timeslot but happy with this in Krita and a little in CSP
