There is always light (Patreon)

Okay, this is really, really unusual for me. I spent two days wrestling with Alcyone, not being totally happy with the lineart, and then completely failing at any sort of digital colouring, and decided I needed to do something quick and spontaneous and simple (no involved backgrounds etc) - and was totally blown away by Amanda Gorman's poem at the inauguration last night. I had goosebumps from the poem and saw her and just needed to paint her. I didn't really do her justice, I'm afraid, but I like the way these Procreate brushes lend themselves to something non-exact. 

Also weird - I haven't done non-exact in ages. Decades. I can only do non-exact when there are no pigments wasted, I guess!

I hope to share the video soon! :)
