This was a 100% Clip Studio digital painting, based on a photo of mine from a visit to Hay River in the Northwest Territories; the sun was pretty unbelievable that summer, that far north.
For this one, I let myself do my rough with the airbrush, and I feel like it really defined the whole image, to the point where maybe that’s a trap I should avoid in future! But I do love how much fun I had with the textured brushes despite trying to protect soft gradients all over the place, and it felt a lot like the same push and pull I have when trying not to overblend and overwork a soft pastel piece.
