I've finally been stolen from. It feels like I've climbed one more step to becoming a real artist today. crying

I completely forgot about the Join.me program so I colored with an audience today. I stress way too much when people are watching me and I'm slow. emotion_facepalm

I have to many places to post art nowadays so I'm slowly getting rid of the unnecessary ones so I'll no longer be updating this thread.

If anyone would like to keep track of my art I've made an instagram for those that are interesting.

Something that I think you should consider is using the sharpen tool or something else that'll sharpen things up. With the amount of details you're putting in, leaving it as is makes it kind of blurry. The irises on this particular piece are fine, but just about everywhere else has a blurry look. I know it's a work in progress, but your previous finished pieces had that quality about them as well. Probably best to save sharpening until last anyway and not do it at this stage since you'd just have to keep going back and resharpening parts that you had to fix, but just something to keep in mind when doing the finishing touches this go around.

That aside, it looks amazing so far.

The blurry edges come about from my habit of using rather large, soft brushes to block in all the base tones just to get it over with quickly. It's always the outer edges that trip me up, but if I can remember to keep with some new painting techniques I picked up, the problem should fix itself. If it doesn't I probably forgot and hopefully looking back at this post every now and then will remind me. cat_xp

Trying to get out of my comfort zone with a lot of things. I probably shouldn't be drawing clothes before I even have the anatomy completely squared away. It's messing with my work flow, but I'm being impatient with this.
