cool process! really nice linework too, im not sure if i will start doing linework before i go into value in future, im considering it. i would ask whether using photo textures and colours instead of learning how to portray them is negating a pretty fundamental part of learning to paint convincingly though?
i only ask because i was considering doing exactly the same but (at least for them meantime) ive carried on with studies and working on picking pallettes and establishing mood without using photos, maybe just using photos as textures at the end.
something to think about anyways, Feng explains that he uses textures only as a shortcut to do what he would otherwise be able to do but in a lengthier time period, and from what i remember he actively encouraged learning it the hard way before making shortcuts.
anyways awesome start to a very promising piece, i hope i havent been really rude accidentally I'm just trying to make sure you dont run into any roadblocks further down the road!
all the best, will keep an eye on this :)
