[anskapaints]

A pallet cleanser of sorts after my last few paintings - I can't be the only one who likes these two together.

In my last four paintings I tried to work none-destructively with layer-modes and while this has its benefits, I also really disliked the process. What is maybe more relevant, I was not overly happy with the final look either, so for this little piece I went back to the roots and created a cleanish drawing with colour flats and then painted on top of it all. Much more relaxing. To avoid overly smooth transitions, I also avoided using the smudge tool and limited myself to a small selection of brushes. I am reasonably happy with my first Bae'zel and Wylliam.

As you can see above, my drawings start out insanely messy.
