I don't really like this one very much. I think I may have gone a bit too strong on the darker areas. I'm not really sure.

Hey DeeapSeaMonster, thanks for commenting on my thread! I want to ask, what's your goal as an artist? Both short term and long term- how much do you want to improve, what careers you might be thinking about in this, and who your favorite artists are? That last one might seem pointless, but I ask because it can be important in developing skill, to measure yourself against people you admire.

1. Use the biggest brush possible for a given passage.
2. Paint large shapes first, followed by small shapes.
3. Save your tonal and chromatic accents until the last.
4. Try to soften any edge that doesn’t need to be sharp.
5. Take time to get the center of interest right.
Or, the briefer version: (B.L.A.S.T.)
Big brushes.
Large to small.
Accents last.
Soften edges.
Take your time.
