HI, this is a painting I did a while ago. Everything on 1 layer. The reference was really complex but I liked it a lot. It looks a bit muddy.

my second attempt (first image) . I'm still having a little bit of trouble with the brushes. Took me 6 hours

hi, this was my first attempt at grayscale, but i'm not very satisfied with what i've done. I don't know how to make the colors blend correctly and i think I'm not using the brush the right way
