There's something iver noticed about your Artstyle and the way you color and do lighting. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it almost looks like you're going for the "visible paint strokes" style, but in digital art instead of traditional?

If so, that's such an amazing way to portray texture and depth in an otherwise 100% 2D plane! I love it a lot ❤️

ah thank you! yes, that’s pretty much exactly what i do. now that i’m thinking about it, it’s funny how i arrived at this art style despite the fact that prior to switching from traditional to digital art around a decade ago, i was never a fan of opaque mediums like oils and acrylics (though i did have experience painting with them). it was watercolors only for me 😂 but yeah, i absolutely employ the same techniques in digital art that i would with opaque paints.
