Description In my opinion the fear of talent is one of the most potent in human beings. Jealousy roots in this fear, but so does awe. Beauty is seen and admired and it is twisted to obsession.
Everyone wants a slice of the cake. But there is a limit on how many can posses this "talent". It is a curse.
The hands are reaching out, touching and admiring the woman, but she is overwhelmed, they all want parts of her.
She gains unwanted attention and cannot live the private life that led her to this talent.
So she draws back, terrified of this attention, because all she really wants to be is solitary.
The fear of talent.

Really?!

What brush type did you use?
Cause when I tried to do that it always come out at a certain stroke which makes it look digital

and yeah don't have a wacom xD

I used the default circle brush (with sharp sides, no blurring) with size, opacity, and huejitter on.
I'm pretty sure you could achieve this effect with a good mouse but having a tablet speeds up the process a ton XD

Basically I threw a sketch on the bottom, colored a base "skin-tone" over it, outlined parts with a darker-redder shade of the skin-tone, then added shadows where they were necessary, switching between yellow orange and reds and blues and using variations of the colors. If you would like I could maybe throw together a tutorial.
