Description Sometimes a practise piece turns out better then expected .

I wanted to practise on skincolor because I keep getting weird colors. Usually I don't use a colorpalet but just pick colors as I go along. With animalfur that works, pick bright colors and then they blend nicely to a more saturated tone. But with skincolor that just doesn't work. So I used a colorpale.
Tried blending the skin like 5 times before I ended up with something that looked ok.

Also played around with some textured brushes. They don't really work for me yet but in the background eventueally it looks kind of nice.

Nena; I couldn't think of a name and since the song "99 Luft Balloons" was bugging my mind all day I named her Nena

I sort of cheated and used a grid to draw up the outlines, Was too lazy to take the time and just do it all by myself

Oh my human painting skills aren't that great, this one got lucky I think . I have been drawing all my life so have had a lot of practise, I don't really like to follow tutorials, think it's much better if you discover how to do stuff on your own so you know exactly what you are doing and why you are doing it that way.
But I do like to see how other people work. Watch video's how other people work like on livestream for instance, you learn more from that than from tutorials .

this is very cool - love the hair in particular (I'm a sucker for well-painted hair)... can't fault the eyebrows either though!
