    Hey sick picture! 2 questions:

    1. Can I use it as my phone background please?
    2. What are you using to ‘smudge’ the colours together. I’m a new artists and want to try replicating that colour style coz it looks really cool

      You absolutely can!

      And it’s a property of the brush I’m using. I use infinite painter and it has a lot of default brushes plus I’ve downloaded a ton more and made a few of my own.

        Amazing thank you!

        Do you have any more detailed explaination on what that means haha! No worries if not as I understand this isn’t a tutorial, just curious as I have only ever used block colour and have no idea how to go about this. I will try either way 🤣

          These are screenshots of the settings I primarily change to get it. Another way is to reduce opacity of the brush and slowly work up to a blended look a brush stroke at a time which is what I used to do before Photoshop way back in the before times.

              You’re welcome and good luck!

              Edit: I also render only on one layer, not multiple. The sketch / drawing is on a layer and the rendering / painting is on a separate layer. No more than that.

              I find when using multiple layers the different elements look more like I cut them out of a magazine and pasted them on than part of the same painting.

                Yeah that makes sense. You can see that from your timelapse. The way you remove the sketch shows that a layer, and the way the colour blends show a layer. And the way it blends between mountains to backdrop before you remove thay sketch. It’s a really cool affect! My stuff is way more layered and blocky so trying this is blowing my mind a little 🤣

                  I was in the same boat two or so years ago. I only did cartoons and sketches and was completely afraid of landscapes. If you scroll back on my post history you can see my growth.

                  I worked at it, studied people, went to in person painting sessions, and so on to focus on getting better. No doubt you can do it, just keep painting and improving.
