TinDeer, thanks for stopping by. You're right about the lighting and water problems. I'm planning to redo something with that image again sometime. I got overwhelmed because I didn't have the right tools at the time. Some helpful artlord on the discord pointed me toward notan and I've done some thumbnail practice to get a better idea on environments.

Study off a statue, with the help of some CD discord crits. Focus here is mainly on forms and simplification, looseness in some areas that don't need all the detail.
Need to study mouths.

And lastly a study off one of Greg Rutkowsky's incredible paintings. He seems to use a lot of textured brushes in his work, so I tried that, and in addition used the dissolve layer blend mode for a majority of it. Personally, I liked the effect, but obviously it looks digital as soon as you give it a close look.
