Illustration #39 (Patreon)

Hello everyone! I hope you've had a great July! I took some time off this month, but I was still able to get this done. I hope you like it!

Here's the picture without the goop as well:

The reward packs for this one will be sent out on the normal schedule, in about a week.

I feel like I'm starting to get a better and better grasp of how to properly use layer blending modes to set up good lighting. I used to use effects that looked fine, but weren't very well structured in the workflow. They created complicated layer stacks, if that makes sense. I've started using Multiply and Divide a lot more for adding shadows and light, and it's working out very well. I recommend trying it!

The thing I feel I still haven't got a very good grasp of is brush efficiency and use of textures, like I've probably mentioned a few times before. Hopefully I'll make some progress on that in the next few illustrations. :)

The current poll will end in a couple of days most likely, so make sure you've gotten your vote in if you're interested in that! I look forward to working on new sketches for the next poll. :)
