I LOVE love love your art. Im sure u get this question a trillion times but how do u get that almost crunchy, artifact like texture in ur pieces? The visible mark-making on ur pieces adds a beautiful tactile feeling. I love that u take advantage of the digital medium and add unique effects that u wouldnt be able to achieve in a traditional way, while still keeping a reminder of the artists hand thru the marks. 🔥🔥🔥

thanks !! 😭😭😭 That’s not quite a common question!

Im using photoshop mostly: two square texture brushes one as my main brush and the other as a mixer brush. I also use a regular round brush with semi transparent settings.

The thing is I apply sharpness in certain areas even across the entire piece and then smudge it out with the mixer brush while leaving some harsh edges intact

I basically do the same thing in procreate although I use different brushes there. The end result is pretty much the same. Very rarely i might also add a rust texture to the background. Another thing I use in ph is applying an emboss layer style to simulate an oil painting effect

in real oil painting the same effect is achieved by smudging the paint with ur finger and using brushes variously stiffness!

What was your painting journey like? Were you always into it? How did you learn?

I'm a 25-year-old art academy graduate. In my country it's a 6-year course 😭 I've been drawing all my life and started taking it seriously when I was about eleven I think?? Actually, painting is mostly self-taught. You just draw every day and after a while you start seeing results When I started it was fun and a way to tell stories. It's still the same now, but I also want to improve my skills, and drawing has become a craft in its own right Before I got into star wars, my themes were original dark fantasy, medieval desert settings, pirates, and small sci-fi stories. I'm not showing that here, but for work I illustrate books and do other freelance art jobs
