Throwback to Inktober a couple of years ago with two unsuspecting children in the monster forest #inktober #monster #kidlit
Update on this portrait!! Still a long way to go but at least now all the figure is at a similar level and I have a solid base to start refining! 🫶 I’m really enjoying painting this, can’t wait to go on!! ❤️

Can't for the love of me figure out what causes this surface texture on fine layer heights, opinions?

Been testing this diamond plate whetstone and boy I kinda regret going with the traditional ones, this is so much easier to raise an apex in Got some knives from basically dull to shaving sharp in around 5 ish minutes each, never have to flatten the plate just a bit of water and you are good to go
