Not the best painting ever, I could tear it apart myself, but this is what I mean when I say I'm lacking in the drawing department- I overcompensate with rendering because I can't get a good base. I haven't improved much, either, because only two weeks ago did I start studying again, for the first time in... 2 years, I think, so this is current, even though it's from last November.Lol. I did the Brad Rigney approach and spent upwards of 40 f****** hours rendering with a pixel brush and the smudge tool. Learned a ton, but f*** all that noise. Never again

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.
