Blue Lotus | Speedpaint | Photoshop CC

I'm back again! I painted this during a period where all I had the energy for were portraits lol. I actually abandoned it at some point at the end of 2020 but decided to finish it at the beginning of this year. This also acts as a redraw of another painting I did near the end of 2019. For a portrait, this did take a bit longer than I'd like, but I found myself stuck on her features for a bit.

My favorite piece of yours, by far, not even close. I legit almost had a tear in my eye watching this the first time. You're an actual magician, and you've inspired me to get into rendering. My lineart isn't bad, but I have always struggled making the color and lighting communicate shape like this, and you've really, really inspired me. Thank you for sharing this.

Aww, I'm so glad I could do that for you! You're too sweet. I really hope you have the best of luck with your art process!

Seeing your process inspires me to not be as critical about my own workflow!

Your beautiful work is a huge inspiration to me: I have to ask, what brushes do you use in photoshop?

[@Nir4z]

Thank you! With this painting I used a brush given to me by a friend, though we were unable to find where they got the brush originally. I also briefly used another brush that I made myself for rough painting, but the majority of it was painted with that aforementioned brush. I have since reorganized my brushes and changed the primary ones I use, though they were from a mix of multiple packs, including the brushes of the same friend so it's hard to trace their origins unfortunately.
